DEPRESSION

DEPRESSION

Living life in a mental self destruction
feelings changing - an emotional eruption
In an instant feelings change
sadness and sorrow in a different range
Forever darkness, overpowering fear
agonizing pain with every tear
Emptiness overpowers your hope
you are unable to feel, unable to cope
Family surrounds you, yet you are all alone
you can't feel the love that they've always shown
They reach for your hand that you can not extend
a painted on smile - for joy you pretend
You want to be happy searching for peace
but it seems that pain will never cease
No matter what happens or how hard you try
you don't want to live but you don't want to die
Why can't I make it all go away
and learn to enjoy life in every way
I want to be happy but I just don't know how
Why won't I let myself; I have to know now!
But the darkness always follows; I can not break loose
I can't stop the pain that the shadows induce
The empty feelings I try to push aside
but the darkness always follows - there is nowhere to hide
How do they find me? Why can't I get away?
I don't want to live like this for even one more day
Others are happy - that I can see
I just don't know why it can not be me
I have so much to live for please help me survive
I'm thankful for my children and glad to be alive
Maybe someday I will learn how to live
my heart is full of love that I am aching to give
Depression is a living Hell
you can not make go away
The only hope that you have
is an answer when you pray
