The sun shines brightly overhead
But I feel no warmth above
The robins softly sing their song
But I hear no song of love

Not a cloud in the blue sky
yet I am covered in darkness
watching happiness on every face
my life seeming more hopeless

lovers in soft embrace
enjoying their life so dear
watching with sad and lonely eyes
slowly dying with each passing year

within my sorrowed breast
my love for her shall always grow
but even though she's in my life
happiness never seems to show

I may never know why
My life slowly meets its destruction
Trying desperately to heal my wounds
Seeking for my soul's redemption

Alone and forgotten in this dank pit
A dungeon made just for me
Depression slowly taking hold
it will never let me be

The voices inside punishing me
Torturing through and through
"worthless coward… live always knowing…
for death is too good for you"

I know the love I hold of her is true
And her love for me as well
But the pain and agony haunt me so
This torment, I may never quell

My strength disappearing
As the end of my war draws near
Her love holds me together
As I'm torn apart by fear

I pray this inner war ends soon
Because now I want no part
I wish for no more anguish
And pain for my shattered heart

Even though I'm not a good man
No matter what others may say
My life has shown me otherwise
And hasn't changed to this day

So fare thee well my friends
As I must leave this hallowed ground
Anger and sadness beckon me onward
To search for happiness not found

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

Depression is a terrible illness that I have been through. I only hope that you have enough love and support around you to get you through. Please take care......Sue
