My Depression
All mighty lord keep me near
From these eyes falls another tear
Unanswered questions remain
A sense of self I beg to gain
Perfection is craved but unrealistic
I kept this in for to long time to go ballistic
My sanity lost grip as I try to keep calm
Another antidepressant placed in my palm
Docs will I be okay and of course they say yes
This here prescription will decrease my stress
What lord do I trust is what I want to know?
Depression in my mind has another sold out show
I try to keep the pain bottled in but it is over flowing
The worst of it all is the feeling of rarely knowing
If you will be okay or if you will reach the end
A part of me wants to fight the demons in my head
Doc why does it seem as if I would be better off dead
The nights seem longer and my mind contemplates
A tomorrow of a dark pain that slowly escalates
Lord I am sick of the silence to my repeated questions
This damn shrink can’t even come up with realistic solutions
Anxiety and depression rapidly crawl through my skin
I guess only my heart can lead me to this needed win
