For People Dealing with Suicide and Depression

Broken again

Why bother to get up?

There’s nothing here for me

No sounds, no feeling of glee

My voice has left me, gone to someplace else

And now, my heart has turned to stone

For my depression has left me all alone

No!

Get up, get up!

Will I let this darkness consume me?

Perhaps I should

But no!

I yearn to be free!

My wings have been clipped

But I won’t let that stop me from flying

Nothing to do, but keep me from dying

Silence depression!

Away suicide!

Get out now, you’re not welcome on this ride!

You’re no longer welcome in my heart

For my strength from you has set me apart

Once broken, now whole

It may be a while till I reach my goal

But be as it may

I’ll keep trying

For this light at the end of the tunnel

Has kept me from dying
