Song I wrote to explain my depression
The best escape from my depression is creating music. I wrote this song to articulate what I go thru when I am depressed and suicidal. I hope that it can help people who understand the struggle:

Ever since I was diagnosed earlier this year I just haven’t been the same as I was. I feel so melancholy most of the time and losing my job didn’t help much either. I just don’t feel like I can do the things I used to be able to anymore except one, which is write songs/poems/lyrics. the only thing is everything I write now has taken on a much sadder tone, you may have seen a few others I’ve posted here, anyway I do feel better getting it out of me and lately have been on a tear, here’s another (if you don’t mind)
Crying out for help, no one seems to hear
Crying out for help, crying in my beer
No one seems to notice though it should be clear
Going ‘bout their day to days while I’m just sitting here
Used to find it easy shaking off hard times
Everything was easy, I thought the world was mine
Now it seems I’ve woken up, there’s no dreams left in my mind
If there are I just can’t see them, maybe I’ve just gone dream blind
Maybe I’m just dwelling on it all I just don’t know
That’s what some would like me to believe
But sometimes it’s just so hard to believe in anything
and I know it’s all about what we perceive
Yes I know it’s all about what we perceive
Hope I haven’t bored you, telling you my woes
They are mine after all, maybe I should let them go
Sometimes I have to hold them in, sometimes they have to show
And sometimes they all get so pent up, like a river that can’t flow

I’d really like to find some joy in something
Any little thing would do
Nothing seems to make me smile I’m just going through my life
Trying not to show how much it hurts
I really wish the world could show me something
That could make me feel brand new
Seems like it’s been quite awhile since I’ve not been filled with strife
And any bit of brightness just inverts
It’s hard, so hard for me to talk about
So that’s why I put it down here in these words
It’s hard, so hard for me to talk about
But maybe it’s a chance I can be heard
I really wish that I was good at something
If I am I wish I knew
Feels like I’ve been put on trial, like a man caught with a knife

I’ve been listening to this song non-stop since I first heard it. ❤️ It’s so powerful. NF totally gets the mental health struggle and it’s so tangible. I feel like this album is like a conversation with a friend. Don’t fake being happy—it’s okay to be authentic and real.
