It's Depression

It’s hard to live in a modern world with depression
It makes you think of all the things you’re missing
Because you can’t miss another mental health session
It makes you think of all the things you’ve been through
It makes you think of all the things you didn’t want to do
Sometimes it makes you feel like you’re lazy
Other days, you just feel like you’re going crazy
It’s not fun to live a life like this
Because all you really want is memories and bliss
But what you get in spite of that
Makes you feel like nothing less of a doormat
Many people suffer with this disease
And a lot of people end up dying on their knees
It’s such a shame to think we can’t move on
To think the night is our only dawn
Depression comes in many shapes and forms
But many people don’t talk about it, so many go uninformed
It takes away the one thing we’ve always wanted
The want to live, the will to live, the desire to live
We learn to forget, but do we ever really learn to forgive?
It makes you want to give up and surrender
Makes you feel like your brain has gone through a blender
We need to raise awareness 
Because at the end of the day, we all deserve fairness
