depressionDepression through my eyes

I'm running through the streets again
the streets I know so well
there's a thick and cloudy ceiling
keeping me trapped in eternal hell

I cant seem to break it
I just keep running along
its playing on repeat again
what is that dreadful song?

My body finds this torture
living in pain and hate
knowing I cant escape it
for me its grown too late

I see your happy up there
surrounded by people and love
I often think while I'm running
of ways to escape above

there is no way to smash it
its made of extra strong stuff
stuck hear running alone
I really have had enough

but still I keep on run
DepressionThoughts run through your mind
'I'm a failure, I'm worthless'
Feel like you're being left beind
Invisible to everyone

Your world is just so bleak
You believe words they say
'You're pathetic, unwanted'
You must be that way

Got no one to turn to
Your 'friends' have all gone
They didn't have a clue
Couldn't understand

You slit your wrists, want to die
Through your veins runs despair
Ashamed, it's all your fault
To you life isn't fair

Sat in a corner, tears in your eyes
There's no hep, you're on your own
Force a smile so they don't realise
You just can't cope anymore

That's not true, there's someone there
To help you out, hel
DepressionIt takes over your mind
Kills your happiness
Puts you in a nothingness void
Full of pain and sorrow

It kicks you down
Hard to the ground
Gives you thoughts
That you never would of thought

Brings back memories
That you never wanted to remember
Makes you cry
Even though joy was all around

Keeps you up at night
In a numb state
Where all you feel is sadness
You feel dead
And you do something to make sure your alive
Even though you never thought you'd do something like that

Everything is wrong
Nothing can be right
You lose you hold on happiness
Once you think you're holding it tight
You watch it float away
Into to that wa
DepressionTrapped in darkness,
Like a tiny box closing in, choking me.
They call it nothing,
But we few sufferers call it depression,
A black gaping hole in our lives,
They call it attention seeking, we call it life
DepressionDepression isn't waking up one day and feeling like your world is going to end. It's waking up most days and feeling the world collapse in. Slowly suffocating you in your own sadness until you can do little more than lie in your bed and wallow in your own self-pity.
Some people don't get as far as the wallowing, and some people stay there forever. I'm trying to break free but it's not as easy as it seems.

When you're down, everyone says to you "Have you seen a doctor?" "Have you tried anti-depressants?"
I wonder if those people ever tried working their way through the system. Being passed from person to person like a mess nobody wants to d

The pain is becoming too much
I feel as if I'm beginning to fall
My world is collapsing around me
I'm lost and all alone
Past thoughts return once again
To ignite my former self
It's all in my mind
But it feels all too real
I'm not sure what will happen
As I journey back into deep depression
