Out of Breath 7/24/2023
It seems like I am always on the run,
But the running is never done,
Depression never stops coming after me,
I will never be set free.
Free from my past,
Which I will never outlast,
Free from my pain,
Which will forever remain..
Iv'e tried to run away from depression,
I found a new place to stay,
I take medicine everyday,
I went to the loony bin,
I put on a fake grin,
I smoke dabs everyday,
I have my own bed where I can finally lay,
I even had a girlfriend,
But because of me it came to a sad end...
I thought I outran my past,
But my depression is too fast,
No I am alone and sad,
And I am becoming just like my dad....
Now my depression is double,
And I am in a lot of trouble,
I can't run anymore,
And Depression is at the door.....
At the door to my brain,
The place where I am always in pain,
I locked the door so it couldn't come in,
But this is where the story takes a dark spin......
Depression found it's way inside,
And now I know everyone lied,
They said I wouldn't always be depressed,
But turns out I've always been possessed.......
Possessed by depression,
Who asked me three questions,
"Why have you been running away,
Didn't you know I am here to stay????????
This is my home I have the keys,
That's why I control your dreams,
Iv'e had a tracker on you sense day one,
Are you going to do your normal thing and run?????????"
I told Depression,
"I didn't know you had the keys to my brain,
I didn't know this was your domain,
Now I can finally enjoy my death,
I can't run anymore I am out of breath.........."
