Depression
Now Depression is a mental illness
We can’t always express
The way we cover it up
With words like im fine or yup
Others cover it up with wine
But mine is a perfect way; a smile
As I say keeps, the nerves away
While many stay
In the position, they're in
I just go and lay;
Sometimes I play
Depression is an illness
It is nobody's business
Only we can survive the fight we are in
So put up a smile and thrive for success
Because we know ourselves truly best
We are given a test
While we may be depressed
We never really expressed
Our feelings but rather we help others
We help them to get out of their situation
That's when the creativity comes in
We become numb to our pain
It tends to become a gain
Rum is the drink; the drink
When we want to see the end
We try and bend the rules
But at school, we pretend that it's all ok
