I write...so therefor I am a Writer.


I wish I was like those girls in my class
They think life is fun
But I think Life is something wished to be done

How can people be so happy when I feel like the ground is swallowing me?
How can they be happy when my heart is shriveling inside me?
Why do I need to put a mask to hide what I feel?
Why do I need to cry and keel?
....
I wish I could be happy
I wish I wouldn't be depressed
I wish I was pretty
I wish for once I could be the best
I wish I don't need to wear long sleeves
I wish I don't need to scream in pain
I wish that I didn't try the deeds
I wish people didn't look at me in disdain ...
Oh I wish for so much in this world
Nothings coming true
I assure you
Though I wish...
I wish they'd come true...
...
I wish those girls would stop laughing at me
They think life is cool
But I think life is for fools...
How can people withhold smiles while I'm being torn apart?
How can people laugh while everything is breaking my heart?
Why do I need to hide my tears?
Why do I need to put away my fears?
.......
I wish I could be happy
I wish I wouldn't be depressed
I wish I was pretty
I wish for once I could be the best
I wish I don't need to wear long sleeves
I wish I don't need to scream in pain
I wish that I didn't try the deeds
I wish people didn't look at me in disdain ...
Oh I wish for so much in this world
Nothings coming true
I assure you
Though I wish...
I wish they'd come true...
......
I had been letting my tears into rain
Rain washed me down and whispered "you aren't insane
Your wishes would one day come true
That's something I assure you
One day I'll be gone
And my friend rainbow will come along
And you'll have a smile on your face
The tears will lose their trace
You're not alone I'm raining on others
They've just been hiding under the covers
Hide with them under the shade
And one day I'll fade
Stay strong and dry
You'll fly
And... you'll be happy..."

......

I wish I could be happy
I wish I wouldn't be depressed
I wish I was pretty
I wish for once I could be the best
I wish I don't need to wear long sleeves
I wish I don't need to scream in pain
I wish that I didn't try the deeds
I wish people didn't look at me in disdain ...
Oh I wish for so much in this world
And my wishes would one day come true
That's something I assure you
ooh I wish...
I wish for so much in this world
And my wishes would one day come true
That's something I assure you...
I wish...
I wish...
I wish...
oooh I... wish...


The author's comments:
I wrote this to discuss depression. I hope people would find happiness like one day I will. People who have depression, like me, think of suicide. Please don't leave this world people from your own will because people love and care for you. If you think the people around you don't... then know that I care.
