Depression

Sinking deep into depression
but on the outside i'm okay
put on my best smile
try to make it through each day

no one really knows
just what goes on in my head
but the pain inside is killing me
i sometimes wish that i were dead

each night i think about my life
and dread each coming day
i don't know how it got this bad
or why i feel this way

i just want to be happy
with my life once again
but no matter how good each day is
it always hurts in the end

crying out for help
but no one seems to hear
so i sit and hope i'll be alright
and wipe away each tear
