Depression
This society is quietly infusing love inside of me,
Though testing my sobriety and everything that I believe,
A good man what I try to be while suffocating trying to breathe,
I wish I had a time machine to change my past cause honestly,
The future don't inspire me I wake up then I cry from dreams,
Mouth to pillow hiding screams smiling trying to hide these things,
This life is but a trial it seems must separate from childish schemes,
Growing up without the means to be myself it always seems,
That I can never find relief my heart been searching hard for peace,
Around most folk I hardly speak I only talk through art discreet,
If life a play my part is weak the golden child who's scarred beneath,
Looking at the stars I seek a way for me to starve this beast.
