I have the effects of a smoker, a drunk, a drug addict too
The only difference is I don't do what they do
I've just got a bad case of depression

It makes me feel there's no use, no hope, and no reason to try.
It persuades me into thinking the vibrant person I once was, has slowly died, and will continue to die.
And then I sit,
Think
Think
Realize
And I cry
And I cry
And I cry

This thing, this depression, its driving everyone away
And then I hate when they leave, but id hate for them to stay...
I've just got...
A bad case of depression


It makes me feel there's no use, no hope, and no reason to try.
And somehow I convince myself that there are more reasons to cry.
But, I sit
And realize
I need to change,
I need to try.
I need to try.
I need to try.


The author's comments:
I have been facing some difficult times and depression got the best of me. It poisoned me and drove all the ones I love away. I was so pessimistic and down. I felt I like a drunk, a smoker, or drug addict, was seen as someone who didn't know when to stop, or how. Until things got too bad, a very special person (boyfriend) could not bear my sorrow and it brought him down. We are no longer together and my friends are distant as well. Now I figured no matter how much I'd wish for someone to understand my sorrow, I have to try and be better, if not for the ones I love, then for myself.
