Depression
I escape my problems by going to sleep
I only feel pain when my wrists are cut deep,
no one understands the chaos in my head
these types of monsters dont hide under the bed.
What did I do to deserve this pain
im losing my mind and going insane,
I put on a fake smile so people don't see
im depressed, im definetly not happy.
Everyone tells me to follow my heart
but what piece do I follow because its broken apart,
if you want me to be happy let me die
because the longer I stay the less I try.
If this is how im supposed to live I don't want this life
im too young to be counciled by a knife,
im ready to go, im ready to move on
its not like anyone would recognize I was gone.
Why don't you understand
I don't want a helping hand,
I don't want to be here anymore
im not living, im fighting a war.

I went through a couple of months dealing with depression and the harder I fought the more I wanted to give up. I felt like I was never gonna make it to the end, I only thought of giving up. But I survived, I pushed through and won the war in my head.
