Depression is heavy
Like a weight to your heart
Depression is heavy
Attaching itself like a weight to your heart
Sinking into your life and tearing it apart
Stealing your joy and robbing you of sleep
The sword of sadness cutting you so deep
Depression is heavy
Regrets and mistakes playing on repeat
Feeling waves of emptiness and defeat
You miss the times you shined with hope
Hating yourself on days, you can’t cope
Depression is heavy
Teardrops fall in a steady stream
Anger builds into a loud scream,
Smiling to mask the pain inside
Searching for a place to hide,
Depression is heavy
The herculean effort required for simple chores
Struggling in solitaire behind closed doors,
Avoiding things that hurt as self-care
Anything to save you from chronic despair
