TRIGGER WARNING - symptoms of depression

i'm drowsy, sleepy,
so tired, and pleading for
a little shut eye

sadness keeps me from
getting any sleep but i
cannot explain it

i am not a threat
to myself or others, but
i'm not in control

i feel so empty
i am sad but not, i'm an
emotionless child

no one understands
how much i struggle each day
i don't need your help

i do need your help
my pride keeps me from asking
please don't worry, please

i am fine i swear
my problems are nothing to
what others deal with

i just need to sleep
hopefully that will fix this
i can only hope now

you are a light in
so many people's lives, i
am no exception

you are my whole world
yet i cannot describe you
the way i know best

you make me feel whole
why you make me feel that way,
i struggle to say

i'm so lucky to
have someone like you, but still
i can't explain why
