DEPRESSION

I dont' know how I keep ending up here
It seems like a place of no return
To go back to the comfort of sanity
To escape this depression, I yearn

The world grows ever so dark
As quickly as a flame snuffed out
No matter how many blessings I have
It seems there's nothing I give a damn about

Some might call it an attitude
But it is truly not that at all
It's my body's own self defense
To fight back these tears that fall

Why don't I have strength to stay away
Far away from this place of hell?
Will the battlegrounds ever let me go
To a place where my self is well?
