My head held low,
tears slowly hit the floor,
each tear shed is for you,
depression I feel
has taken a hold of you,
A smile that once crossed
my lips when your name
I would call to the wind
now holds a frown in its place
in hopes the grave
is not your domain,
a life so precious
it is a shame
you can not seem to face it,
depression can be over come,
pills, drugs, booze,
they are not the solution,
friends may say
do this, do that,
it is within your heart
you truly know,
a friend is only a friend
if they say to you,
do not kill your inner soul
instead reach out
scream, shout,
throw a fit of rage,
do not hurt yourself
do not let depression
take your soul,
reach for the stars
set your life straight,
people can help,
friends are only friends,
if they stick by you
depression can be overcome,
trust me when I say
I've been there too,
and in the end I found
who my true friends were.
