Depression.

My Biggest Fear 




They cut my heart 

Right out of my chest
Making me believe 
That the demons knew no feast 


These demons were destructive 

Knocking down the life I knew 
Hating everything about me,
She hated herself too


Sure, I'll play, I'll laugh,

I'll sing some songs,
But that pain is always there
Because it's been here all long.


And when the darkness comes

With its all-consuming power,
It slowly takes my soul
Hour by dreadful hour.



You would never know it,

The constant pain I feel,
Because in the light of day
It almost isn't real, I can say.
