Depression

When the pain becomes too much
And I feel out of touch
When life deals dark hands
And my weapons unmanned
Unnatural feelings of despair
Other people don't care
Believing and knowing pain
Unwanted for at all no gain
Depression settles in my mind
Settling like salt and unkind.

Feeling down and disbelievingly low
Rain falls and becomes the snow
I feel as though I am the only one
Now I know all is lost I am done
I try to pick myself up quickly
But fear berates me and they see
Unpleasant worries stops the cold
Memories of the past are too bold
Depression counts for something
Leveled by an unreal sting.

Deadening the suffering can be almost impossible
Standing corrected can leave you void and null
When life passes you exclusively by
There's no time for all the lies
When I feel depressed and alone
To the clouds destination unknown
I fill myself with joy if I can
Chameleon counterpart grain of sand
Silence is deadly and I'm calm
Standing aside, depression I'm drawn.

Feelings singe deep within my soul
Feelings no one understands or knows
When I think aloud I'm a loner
Are people so easily swayed and cloned?
Why am I the only one that feels this?
I can't win I just play hit or miss
Take some time to look severely around
Realize others call to the sound
I am not alone and my feelings understood
Doing what's right, just and good.
