farewell depression
Depression
I know you all too well
Sticking by my side like glue
Ever since I was out of the womb
Faking a smile for all to see
How much pain I was actually in
Never knowing which day is your last
So you try to live like everyone else
You makes it hard to live
When you make everything about you
“Attention seeking” tendencies then come out to play
Scaring everyone and their mother away
Depression
Comes and goes
But you never know when
Like an uninvited guest at a birthday party
I didn’t ask for you
But now you’re here
Ready to take over my life
I wish you never came
But I wish you could take me away
Take me away from this pain and misery
Depression
Making your bed your new best friend
While tv is playing in the background
Sadness is all you know
When happiness seems to be a myth
Given a prescription of pills to keep you quiet
You finally lays down and rests
Depression
A new day has dawned
And I, for one, missed the sun
A smile has come over me
And behind that smile is happiness
Depression
I know you’re still there
Living in my brain
But you’re quiet now
Not so scary after all
Depression
The only enemy I thought I had
Now I consider you a friend
A friend who needs a hug and unconditional love
Depression
I must go and live my life
And I know you’ll come and visit
But don’t stay too long
For I have a date with happiness
Turns out he wasn’t a myth
He was just standing behind you all along
