Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night because your dreams turned into nightmares
Nightmares of old memories that held a grip on your mind like a wrench
Although it was some time ago, you felt those memories in the now
Have you?
Have you ever cried yourself to sleep?
Every night you wept
Sleep became your favorite activity cause why not what else is there to do
Why else should I get up and move?
Who wants me here?
Was the questions you asked yourself
You looked for help but they all blamed you for feeling pain
So the numb to pain feeling emerged
You no longer looked to family or friends
Instead, you grabbed at weapons
Cause by any means you were ready to lay in a coffin
Have you ever been depressed like me?
Have you ever?
Then donโt tell me to forget
Donโt tell me to shake it off
Donโt tell me to be a man
Men act like they donโt feel, but they feel the most
They donโt cope
Cause they want to seem like a rock
But god didnโt make them into an object
He made a human being
Have you ever been depressed?
Looking for ways to rest
Have you ever been told to forget like itโs that easy?
You donโt know what itโs like to be me
So donโt judge me
Judge yourself
