No Regrets Poem by katey farmer

depression sets in
seeps down in my bones
i know it will win
this thought drives the sadness home

a sinking feeling
a desparate fight
too hard, im kneeling
i lost to depression tonight

can i escape
can i break free
theres so much at stake
the epitome of me

i must be happy
ive got to make
a facade to hide the real me
or all i am will break

i wish i could smile
fake it just a little
but its been a while
my mask is so brittle

i cant do it
i cant put him at ease
i cant break through it
depression, let go please

i thought i was done
his face wiped clean
from my heart, gone...
what does it all mean?

i was stupid to think
he was meant for me
my heart is at the brink
of breaking into pieces so tiny

i want his happyness
even if i sacrifice mine
i want his bliss
ill get it over time

at first i was selfish
i wanted him back
he deserves better than this
with all that i lack

but no more
i cant, i wont think
im done keeping score
into depression i sink

i say goodbye
ill live my life
as a fake, in a lie
no romeo and juliet ending, no knife.

youll move on
youll forget
ill be gone
no regrets
