Depression



Depression, oh depression,
A weight that's hard to bear,
A cloud that hangs above us,
A darkness everywhere.

It creeps into our minds,
And steals away our joy,
It makes us feel so helpless,
Like we're just a broken toy.

It drains us of our energy,
And leaves us feeling numb,
It makes us feel so worthless,
Like we're just a useless bum.

But know that you're not alone,
And help is always near,
There's hope for brighter days ahead,
And happiness is near.

So don't give up, my friend,
And don't let depression win,
You're stronger than you know,
And you will find your grin.
