Ode to my depressed self.
I remember how it was
(suicidal teen)
the emotions spinning round
life an empty dream
nothing seemed to fit
and days were dazed and long
I wonder how I survived
I don't feel that strong
This is for the memories
of angsty days long since gone
the depression still lurking here
though a new expression I'll don
A look of false happiness
fake that I'm okay
I feel like such a child now
but this feeling's here to stay
Thought I'd past the stages
where I felt so incomplete
but all throughout this year
new challenges I'd meet
And I'd fail, without trying
because I find no worth in me
that teen is in here hiding
trying to break free
So do I sing a song of rainbows?
Paint a picture of the sky?
I think I'll just sit here
and ask myself just why
why I am depressed now
it shouldn't be this way
I shouldn't be hurting
(I thought I'd thrown those days away)
I wish I wasn't a depressed teen
those few years back the line
maybe it'll fade soon
all it takes is time...
