waking up today -
the sun is bright -
yet i see darkness everyday -
with what seems
no hope of ever seeing light

pondering this day and what life has in store -
i push myself hard just to get out of bed -
another day for my tears to hit the floor -
another day alive but really walking dead

sure i smile, sometimes earth size'd -
on the outside i look great -
but with -
people like me... there's something you don't realize -
n the outside i'm great
while on the inside is depression and a bitter debate

assist me in carrying on with words of love and positivity -
don't knock me further down or darken an already onyx day -

fight this war i have, i everyday wage within me, with me -
assist me to breathe on this saturday with the comforting words that you say -
assist me on this day away from my inner torture and help me to be free !
