Black as rolling thunder
Depths deeper than the sea
Tsunami of depression
When will I be free
Foul prison of despair
In icy chains you hold me
Yet I don't belong here
This really isn't me
Tentacles of darkness
You grasp and hold me down
You drain away my confidence
And leave me with a frown
Icy finger of self doubt
You plague my every thought
Feed me with your poison lies
Until your truth I've bought
Chains wrapped in velvet
weights to aid my fall to hell
Purposely you destroy me
And leave a walking shell
And yet inside I'm screaming
Don't want to buy your lies
Don't want to look in the mirror
And see the good things die
I don't deserve depression
Don't want a life that's sad
I yearn for joy and happiness
I hate to feel so bad
The real me is trapped below
In darkness thick as water
How I long to break the surface
Where the air is so much purer
I love to eat and drink and laugh
To live and love with passion
To smile and be with those I love
Beneath bright shining sun
So if you're listening God above
I need some help to break this chain
Help me be just who I am
And walk away from this dark pain....
And yes, my friends here on DA help me more than words could ever say
depression is such a killer of ones true self,
