Promises

Dying on the inside 
Smiling on the out 
Tears want to fall 
But they don’t get a chance at all 
Laughing on the outside 
Crying on the in 
The hope for better things growing thin 
Hoping to get relief from the pain 
Knowing that people think causing pain is a game 
Giving up any hope left in life 
Losing all the light in their eyes 
This is what it feels like to be depressed 
Thinking that all nothing good is left
I know that feeling too 
I know the feeling of being used 
Depression cuts you like a knife 
Sometimes you think it’s ruined your life 
So don’t make fun of anyone for feeling depressed and sad 
Never tell them to just be glad 
It is hard to be glad  
When life is so sad 
But don’t tell me you will always be there 
That is a little unfair 
Because nobody can always be there 
We all have a time on this earth, we all have our share 
You can’t promise me anything 
There isn’t one real promise you can make 
Because, without fail, every promise will eventually break
