thoughts darker than night
smile faker than barbie
happiness is rare
i hardly
see it
i use to be able to hide my depression
but now i can’t beat it
it’s consuming my life
i can’t run away
joy is playing hard to get
and sadness is playing easy to stay

yes lord
help me out
i don't wanna continue my life on this route
im trying to change
i wanna be a better person
tell me what to do so i can stop hurting
this is all too much for me to handle
im cracking under pressure
im losing my mind
im only 17
why the **** do i already want to die

society standards make me feel like i ain’t ****
so i look in the mirror and see ****
i walk around feeling like ****
no self-esteem
no confidence at all
at school i feel like everyone’s judging me as i walk down the hall

it isn’t fair that we have to live like this
depression, loneliness, sadness is becoming a trend
hospitals and therapist’s offices are filling up again
nobody seems to understand the problem is within

we’re society
we allowed this to happen
we didn’t speak up until it was much too late
now everyone is on the brink of breaking
everybody is wishing this was the last breath
they were taking...
