Depression is a weight that drags you down,

A darkness that fills your every frown.

It steals the colors from your life,

And fills your days with endless strife.

It whispers doubts into your ear,

And makes you question why you're here.

It tells you lies about your worth,

And steals the joy from every birth.

It's like a storm that never ends,

A battle that you cannot win.

It makes you feel alone and lost,

And counts the moments, at great cost.

But though it seems like all is lost,

And hope is just a distant ghost,

There is a light that shines within,

A spark of hope that will begin.

So hold on tight and do not fear,

For you are stronger than you appear.

The storm will pass, the sun will rise,

And you will see with new-found eyes.

You'll find the strength to carry on,

And heal the wounds that once were drawn.

And though the road ahead is long,You'll find your way, and life goes on.
