I AM

I am lonely and depressed
I wonder if anyone truly loves me
I hear my heart beating softly
I see my life flash before me
I want to start my life over
I am lonely and depressed

I pretend to fit in with my friends
I feel like i have no purpose in the world
I pinch myself to make sure i’m real
I worry that i won’t make it to next week
I cry at night while i think of my life
I am lonely and depressed

I understand that no one’s perfect
I say i’m sorry to those i hurt
I dream of the day i will no longer suffer
I try not to get too depressed
I hope i don’t make your life as miserable as mine
I am lonely and depressed
