Total Control

This depression has taken control
Over my body, over my soul
Sometimes I feel as if I am all but whole,
This finishing cut across the threshold of skin
I realize that once again
Depression has total control

I try to stand up and walk away
But the pain of depression is making me stay
Every cut, every scar,
I feel as if I am being barred,
This chain holding me here
Is my pain of nobody being near

Feeling totally fake, all but pure
Seems like this blade is my final cure
I tried to hide these feelings inside
But the longer doing so,
I felt as if I had died

From afar all seems well,
But my life is a living Hell
Take this secret and please don’t tell,
Just pretend my life is fine and swell

I try to stand up and walk away
But the pain of depression is making me stay
Every cut, every scar,
I feel as if I am being barred,
This chain holding me here
Is my pain of nobody being near

This void of happiness doesn’t allow my soul to rest
Keeps my life a complete mess,
I am tired of this masquerade
My final cut, I am no longer afraid
Peace at last, I can now drop my blade

I am doing this alone,
Overcoming depression on my own,
I am now in total control
Not this depression, it has taken its toll

I can finally stand up and walk away,
I overcame the pain of depression,
Broke the chain holding me here
I can finally let people near
Total control of my own life,
I have cried my last tear
