How sad it is to be spending my precious days

wallowing around like a dog without a bone,

and how sad it is to imagine the rest of my life

spent feeling this empty, bleak, and alone.

I’m done with waking up tired,

my head feeling heavy with a sense of dread,

and I’m done with all the lies you tell,

convincing me that I’d be better off dead.

So, this is a message for you, depression,

I know that you can hear.

It’s time for you to pack your bags,

and get out of my f*****g ear!
