Slide

Depression, sometimes creeps up, its true

you think you're fine, happy, but its gnawing away at you
it scratches away, digging down, crawling in
each day ripping a layer away, until its burrowed under the skin

Depression, can make you feel like everything would be better
if you were not a part of the scene, that you don't matter
it grips you, and drags you down, slowly so you don't notice
until you are drowning under the surface

Depression, can make you feel lost
that you are not worthy of care, at any cost
that no one wants you there
that people would rather you don't share

Depression, isn't just feeling low, its a curse
where the whole universe feels like it is giving you its worst
that you don't deserve a place at the table, or a part of the ride
that you are forever on the outside

Depression, wont win, wont let it stick in, though the heart is churning
but yes I'm on the slide, and its twisting and turning
first step is the hardest you will take
ask for help, its the only decision to make

Depression, gets a lot wrong

people do care, they want you to be strong

so dont hide it away, like a long held secret

take the first step to beat it

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love.
