Depression Can Hurt
depression can hurt
depression can kill
they say it hurts everyone
it kills everyone inside
but they dont know
they dont know what it feels like to be depressed
if they did then they wouldnt try to make us sound like its our falt
like we are crazy
or try to guilt us into getting 'better'
there is no cure
there is no way out unless you truly wanted it
unless you truly needed it
depression can hurt, yes
depression can kill, yes
but it could do so much more.
