Depression vs Society

It seems like everyone
Is on the other side watching me burn
In flames that can't be controlled by "water"
Flames that have risen from sorrow and saddness
Arose with such speed, too hard to control
Too big to stop

I just wanted help
And now I'm getting it
Some is helpful
Other is hate
But i simply fear
That it's far too late
I've been sitting in the flames for almost 3 years
Waiting on someone for lend a hand
To not lie and say it's going to be okay
But to say you've got to see your lifes ending
The way it was meant to be
Dear, you must stay
I've stayed. Not sure who I stayed for at that moment
But now I know I belong here for Carter, my nephew
The brighest thing thats every came into my life
The little human that saved me from my loss
He doesn't know how but he has
And i thank him everyday for that. 
You don't deserve to look at pictures of me
You deserve so much more

I want to show you I'm more than that girl with scars
Because I am
If any of you would just give me a chance
I can prove I'm so much more
Depression doesn't define me
It defines my mental status
I'm sorry for all the trouble I've cause
I know I'm a burden most of the time
Hard to deal with, Hard to control
But I feel strange sometimes
Like my lifes on autopilot and so am I
Im a robot with negative thoughts infiltrating my brain
I am the weakness inside my brain
