I am not an actress worthy of the screen, I am but a normal human. And I know, I too am mortal My pain, and sadness you refuse to understand So, I pretend. I smile, laugh and it kills me You who fail to understand me They tell me to try And I do, yet every time when all is going well You look at me with eyes of disgust Shame me if you must Shame me if you will But know one thing I will eventually move on You will not be my chains I refuse you to be what holds me down I will cast you away from me My dear depression

Dear Controller,
I am not an actress worthy of the screen, I am but a normal human. And I know, I too am mortal My pain, and sadness you refuse to understand So, I pretend. I smile, laugh and it kills me You who fail to understand me They tell me to try And I do, yet every time when all is going well You look at me with eyes of disgust Shame me if you must Shame me if you will But know one thing I will eventually move on You will not be my chains I refuse you to be what holds me down I will cast you away from me My dear depression
