I Remember
I still remember the days
I still remember the years
When the sadness seemed just a phase
And not every night was spent in tears
When my eyes weren’t perennially melancholic
And I wanted each day to never end
When every evening was full of fun and frolic
And in every stranger I saw a friend
When the world was infinitely more kind
And no one yearned to see others fall
When genuineness wasn’t so hard to find
And virtue was embraced by all
But with every betrayal and every goodbye
Every breakdown I hid from those around me
I realized that no matter how much I try
From these shackles my heart will never be free
I want to believe that one day I can win this fight
One day the depression will finally be put to bed
But right now it’s very hard to see the light
For my heart is beating but I am truly dead
