Pain

We’ve all felt those god awful feelings

The kind that hurt so bad they leave us reeling

Some people will never understand the pain

Or how it slowly but surely drives us insane

Depression is a brutal killing machine

It’s felt by millions, though it’s rarely seen

Most suffer in silence and bottle it all inside

And it feels like there’s no bright side

It has no remorse, the merciless pain it brings

No matter what it stems from, it’s unforgiving

Some claim that being emotional is a cry for attention

But those people don’t realize that it’s not the intention

There’s no way to measure how much pain one endures

And nobody has the right to judge that pain, that’s for sure

People can be vicious and insufferably remorseless fools

And to ridicule someone who suffers, is just plain cruel

Imagine the difference we help could make in someone’s heart

If we had just listened to them and been there from the start

We could save countless lives if we could just open the seal

And finally acknowledge the fact that depression is real
