I came into your life when you were an adolescent
but we never really got acquainted
I'd like to introduce myself,
my name is depression, I've been here some time
but you found ways to suppress me.
you were young then but I left an impression
those tears that filled your eyes and you couldn't think clearly
that was me, my name is depression
some days you try to forget me
but I was just in the back of your mind like a recollection.
the impression I made you use as a weapon
that weapon is built on hatred and rejection
 my name is depression
see this feeling it grows but it does not always show
I'm not hidden by frowns or moping around
im laughs, and smiles and jokes to be told
because once you are alone im all that you know
but I don't make a sound
my name is depression
I tend to roam around your thoughts and let your mind race
I leave an indentation when you feel your heartbreak
I'm the sound that you scream when it feels like too much and that's all you can take
my name is depression.
you hide your feelings behind affirmations looking for validation
and your thoughts aren't as clear as you hoped for
I know this because I'm the biggest piece of you and your weak
so drinking and smoking tend to be your retreat
my name is depression
and I know you have trouble sleeping
tossing and turning but you don't know the reason
I'm something like your best friend because I've been here for the ride
while your dying inside
and I do not mean to misspeak,
I'm often discreet but my name is depression
