Depression is my...

Depression is my friend
It has been for all these years
The only thing that's left of me
Through all the blood and tears

The only friend who helps me
To stay when I can't cope
It always gives me truth
Life holds for me no hope

Depression is my enemy
It clutches on to my soul
Haunting me in dreams
I'm left with no control

I'm smiling on the outside
Though inside I have scars
Concealed I am forever
Behind these iron bars

Depression is my lover
It's there to understand
When I cry alone at night
It gently holds my hand

I realize who I am
My future won't be bright
Sometimes I even wonder
If I'll make it through this night

Depression is my rival
My fading smile it hid
It gave me a lifelong sentence
The joy of life forbid

I'll die before my time
To this force I've been enslaved
Torn down by depression
The life you didn't save...
