Life With Depression

Depression hurts the souls of all
And though it tries to bring us down
We all have the will to fight
Nobody wants to die
Though we sometimes laugh and joke about it all the same
Nobody wants to feel so lost
That they just can't take it anymore.
But sometimes the feelings creep up
And depression tries to take us over
And if you're feeling that alone
Who knows what depression can make you do.
Sure the cutting let's it out some
And at least you have a bit more control.
But in the end depression keeps coming back.
Sure you can drown it in pills.
Until you're lying on your back.
In a hospital bed
With dear ones crying over you.
How do you feel now?
Maybe depression goes away after that.
Getting help from others.
But what if it doesn't?
Or what if your failure to die.
Or to try dying at all
Passed that depression on to someone who cared so deeply for you.
And now the cycle starts all over again.
We all know depression hurts.
It's not a light subject to talk about
But when someone you love is being possessed
What are you doing to do?
Or will you even know?
It's all about depressions face.
And learning what it looks like.
To save the life of someone else.
Or maybe even yourself someday.
Don't take depression lightly.
Or the person you love may lie there
Unbreathing.
On the cold hard ground.
While you were sleeping.
The soul of another beauty
Now lies resting
In the ugly ground
While depression keeps taking.
