LIFE CHRONICLES EPISODE 007

My life is dark

I look alive but I’m dead inside

I only live by my shadow

My heart is full of holes

Bloody nightmares are what I see

Filthy videos play in my mind

I’m losing this battle

The demos in me are conquering

I can’t find peace

I can’t restore my broken pieces

I’m silently shouting for help

But nobody can hear my cries

The cries of a depressed man

I fake my smile

I fake my laughter

But when I’m alone

I’m shedding tears

Both visible and invisible

I’m crying because of what happened yesterday

My tears are flowing because of what I saw the other day

Depression is killing me

I’m now shouting for help

My tears can now be seen

My pen now tells of my pain

I’m now shouting for help

Before I succumb to depression

My ink is fading

As my life is soon fading

Please I’m shouting for help

I’m your neighbor, yes

I’m your fellow student, yes

I’m your workmate, yes

Please save my life

Depression kills
