Depression is my strange friend
It’s that broken vase
Once broken it will never be the same.
It’s the fog around you while you’re driving
And your wipers aren’t working
Depression is life’s gun.
Sometimes the triggers
Are unknown
But when it goes off
Takes the life you feel inside you
Depression is a heart attack and
a stroke at the same time
Your heart is being attacked
While your thoughts damage you
Depression is being around everyone you love
Doing the things you enjoy
But you feel so invisible
It’s the rain the keeps pouring
And you’re wondering
Where is the rainbow?
Depression is having the voices
Of those you thought loved you
But instead the poison you hear
Replay its self over and over
Now you’ve got yourself
Against you.
Your heart becomes so weak
And wounded
It no longer works
What is it that life can offer
To be your defibrillator
The explosive nature of your thoughts
Expand your inner crater
I know what it feels like to be smothered to death
But still fight for a reason to live
Drowning in all your uncertainties
when you know He who is above you
Is the most certain
You don’t dare open those curtains
For you fear the light you allow in
Will only be masked up again
And even though depression will have control of my mind
It is too weak to take over my soul
Because it is He who blew his spirit into me
Giving me a reason
To set myself free
