• Can you imagine
    For months waking up and not wanting to
    Not wanting to think, to move, to breathe
    Having every action you take turn to torture
    Want to numb out, to vegetate
    To no longer live
    That I what depression is like

    It’s paralyzing on every level of your being
    It’s like being submerged in wet cement
    There is nothing else like it
    It is a disease of the mind
    And I’ve been infected with it

    But don’t pity me, support me

    Be the strength that I don’t have
    And teach me how to stand and walk
    Do not turn your back on me
    Do not give up on yourself

    Some days I may sink
    And appear as death
    But as long as you don’t abandon me
    There is still a glimmer of hope
    Still something to fight the depression
    Something for me to cling to
    As all I know crumbles apart

    Depression may take hold of me
    May drag me down to Hell and rip me apart
    But if you still shine light into my hell
    I’ll know the earth’s still spinning
    And that Heaven may exist
