I feel that people don’t listen and
They really fail to hear
How my depression goes deep
And how it opens my deepest fear
My mind tends to play games and
Nothing seems the same
To open up about my feelings
I feel so ashamed
I am this worthless person
Not able to pick myself up
I feel I am not worth it
And life really *****
Depressed in the morning,
Depressed all day long
Depression is my middle name
So I want to be left alone
When I look in the mirror
I hate what I see
I wish I could fade away
It’s a tough journey every day

I am just an old frame and
A broken down old shadow
Why am I stuck in this body
And why life doesn’t matter
Tears became my breakfast
And pills is always my lunch
I feel like I’m in a boxing ring
Knocked down with every punch
I don’t know how to make it
And I fail to simply get through
I’m only sure there is no joy
No matter what I do
Others may understand and
Find a way to cope
From where I stand in life
I can’t find and see no hope
Maybe if I'm lucky
My life will bring a change
And if I'm only dreaming
Depression will always
Be my name
