Depresion

Depression sits inside my chest
Like weight that never lets me rest
It steals my strength, it drains my breath
A slow rehearsal for the death

It eats me slowly, like a worm
Gnawing thoughts that twist and turn
Nothing hurts, yet everything does
I’m numb to hate, I’m numb to love

I stare at one point in the dark
Covered up in my bed
I don’t have the strength to move
I don’t have the strength to live my head

Time keeps moving, I stay still
Hours pass against my will
The world goes on without a sound
While I’m buried, safe but bound

I stare at one point in the dark
Covered up in my bed
I don’t have the strength to move
I don’t have the strength to lift my head

I’m not lazy, I’m not weak
I’m just tired beyond speech
Every step feels like a fight
Just getting through another night

I stare at one point in the dark
Covered up in my bed
I don’t have the strength to move
I don’t have the strength to lift my head

If you don’t hear from me today
It’s not that I don’t care
I’m just trying to survive
Being trapped inside my head
