my darkness

this is about depression.

i'd give anything to be happy,

it's something i've never been.

as my life passes me by,

hapiness remains unseen.

no matter what i bloody do,

my smile is turned upside down.

i wonder why i try at all,

in jim beam i try to drown.

this has GOT to get better,

my darkness won't eat me alive.

i'll find reasons to be happy,

i'll enjoy my struggle to survive.

Life is really tough sometimes. Oh, you have written, "passes my by" instead of "me by" so you might want to fix that. Drugs and alcohol don't help anything, they just ruin your physical health to a state equal to your mental torture. Friends, family, God, hobbies, exercise...those things tend to help me.

This is such a sad piece, as people we always try to seek happiness in things, money, drink or whatever, but I believe that faith is the only place to find it. I truly hope you do find what your looking for.
