Depression Depression

               Depression Depression
       Why can’t I shake you from my life
                      From my mind
                      From my body
                      From my soul
                I want to scream help
          Your hand is over my mouth
           I try anyway but it is muffled
                             I cry
                             I cry
                             I cry
                    so hard my eyes
                 began to swell shut
             I can’t see I can’t scream
                             I can’t
             I can’t be me anymore
             Why must I feel like this
             Will you leave me alone
                     My mind runs
                     My mind race
                     My mind wonders
                    I have thoughts
              They aren’t my thoughts
              Depression Depression
              They are your thoughts
                          Your lies
                      Your feelings
                      Your thoughts
                         Your lies
                   I need to get up
            I need to get my strength
         It’s so hard cuz now my mind
                        Won’t work
                        Won’t think
                      Can’t process
                     Can’t compute
                 Strength I need you
                        Be my rock
                             I’m up
                            I’m trying
                Knocked back down
                      On my face
                     Knees bleeding
                  Hands scraped up
                 Depression Depression
                             Has won
                               HELP
