We Found Each Other

It's the small things

the way my smile quickly changes to a frown

being rejected and made out to be a joke               

from a mood disorder that makes me wanna choke

Depression, where'd you come from? Why did you choose me?

The inside of me died without a funeral

losing everything I once lived for

I wanna die because I feel alone

die because my house isn't a home

when i overdose or slit my wrist, no support is there

but I knew you wouldn't care

I shed countless tears at night after being told to sleep tight

Depression, why do I still have to fight?

Please don't touch me but pull me closer

don't talk to me but tell me about your life

What is this heart-wrenching pain?

I'm everywhere but nowhere 

full of smiles but the emptiness of my body can go for miles

Depression, who am I?

rainbows and unicorns aren't me

but stormclouds and thunder inside never leave

I can't get out of bed

I can't escape the suicide thoughts in my head

I don't eat

I can't sleep 

I can't focus

Depression, when will you leave? When will I be set free? 

It'll never get better 

nothing will change

do you see my pain?

can you help me escape?

please, i'm hurting

it hurts

oh help me it hurts

Depression, what have you done?

I guess this life was just for fun
