Know It Right

I know what's right and what's not,
but that does not keep me from feeling depressed.

I know what it's like to be depressed,
I've been there, understand.

You feel like you have no sense of direction,
no purpose in life,
no one loves you.

You feel like there's nothing worth looking forward to,
everything is meaningless,
only confusion.

You feel everyday, as the sun comes down,
that the sun will always come down the same way,
and nothing new will happen.

I've been through depression,
I know it.

But what you might not know,
Is that I know what's stupid and what's not.

What's stupid,
is that you pretend to be depressed,
you pretend that you're lost, confused, hopeless,
only to gain attention, only to gain empathy.

What's stupid,
is that you decide your life is not worth living,
and that dying is better,
so you do whatever it is to attempt suicide,
but what do you think when you release the bridge? pull the trigger?

What's stupid,
is that you do these things,
and you end up being depressed,
you end up in your own, created, small, dark, hole.

And you can not get out.
