It's been a killing streak
My depression is on a winning streak
My happiness is on a losing streak
It's killing me, It's killing me
I'm down, nothings lifting me up
This is never going to stop
I want to destroy, shout, hurt and cry
But it is just so hard to try
It's a killing streak in my soul
Maybe I will never be whole
My pain is shooting it's holes
I want to be in control
My mind walks in darkness
It bumps up with lonliness
They stay as friends
But lonliness backstabs
I'm lost in me
Where is the light that sets me free
I'm scared, I'm tired, I'm broken
Every happy memory has been stolen
It's killing me, It's killing me
I want to be free
It's a killing streak inside
I'm going to break from the outside

I really like this, I battle with depression myself and I think everyone does at some point in time.
I like how you say that its killing you inside.
But this could have used just a bit more insite to how you feel and what it does to you.
Thank you for entering and good luck inthe contest.

Good raw take on depression, I've felt like this myself, but err...express it a little differently, as we all do. Well done and good luck in the contest.
