Be tough, be tough
Hold that saltwater up
Tighten your muscles,
Tighten your face
No reason to end up as the family disgrace
The D word is bad, The D words a lie
The D word makes me want to die
The D word doesn’t exist in dictionaries of my parents
The D words a myth, a hoax if you please
I’m feeling trapped, I’m down on my knees,
All is well and will be well I am taught,
But what about the times when it’s not,
A dark pit with no way up, is where I reside,
But no one should see me, so I’ll cleverly hide,
I’m not meant to be this way, that’s not who I am,
It cant be true, it just can’t.
And so I’ll just talk to myself, I’ll scream and I’ll rant
Depression is so real, so real that it hurts,
But my mouth is shut as I fear for the worst,
If the hands that raised you wont believe
The symptoms of depression are legitmate and here,
There are very few solutions for me, my dear.
