Depression
If you’d like to know the symptoms
How can I explain?
The deep, deep black hole
The anguish and the pain
There’s no reason to despair
But it happens anyway
The feeling of no hope
But saying I’m okay
The cloak of jokes and laughter
That I wear to cover the shame
Of thinking life’s not worth living
And I’ve just myself to blame
I know I should be grateful
For my family, friends and such
There are many with so little
And I possess so much
I wish I could make sense
Of the tunnel that has no light
Then maybe I can focus
On some happiness in sight
