Depressions mask
Today I woke up.
I didn't feel enough.
Today I didn't feel tough.
I didn't want to play dress up.
I didn't want to play pretend or
Lie everytime I answered a question.
I didn't want everyone to know my head was a mess again.
I didnt want anybody to know, I'm struggling with depression.
So heres this confession,
I woke up today struggling to cope
I went to the bathroom an filled my lungs with smoke
I painted my face on as it was grabbing my throat
My feet were shackled with rope
Every step hurt from my head to my toes
All of a sudden it was time to go
Time to hide, my feelings mustn't show
I cried untill there was a river a flow
All that paint i used was there afloat
There i was left exposed
All the people in the world an nobody knows
What kind of battle I fight with my own soul.
