Tears run down my cheek
They're streaming, as I'm reluctant to speak
Once the depression's enslaved me
Don't count on anything being able to save me
I look to my left and to my right
But nothing that brings me joy is in sight
Negativity begins to creep into my head
And the only thing I want is to go to bed
The thoughts don't go away
Of having laughter and smiles some day
But since that reality seems so distant
It feels like it'll always be nonexistent
Soon that dream begins to fade
And I think back to the sixth grade
I ask myself why it all went wrong
And then I wonder if it's been life-long
I bang my head against the wall
It's happy times that I'm trying to recall
I know I've had them but none come to mind
How is it that I've become so blind?
My life feels like it's run amuck
And with that realization I say, "this sucks"
I can't pinpoint the reason I feel so sad
So I get up, brush it off, and imagine that it's not so bad
