Inside Depression
Inside we all feel depression at one time or another,
The cause not always known and not all can recover,
I believe that most are scared of what their true feelings are,
Like strange ideas of death while driving the car
Sometimes it's easier to just end it all, but most are scared of death and so they live on,
Not really being sure of what happens after death,
There are those that will continue to take breath after breath,
Feeling like why should I get up everyday?
Why not just lay there until my body decays?
True feelings are scary but are there anyway,
You can ignore them all you want but they'll return another day,
Why was I born? What's my purpose here on earth?
I believe that my life should have ended at my birth,
So much misery and depression surrounds my heart,
It feels as though I'm being pulled apart,
I will not hide my feelings because they do not lie,
And I will not let them drive me to suicide,
Although it's the perfect solution I feel on certain days,
I have God to face and three kids to raise.
