MY STORY

MY STORY IS ONE THAT ANYONE CAN UNDERSTAND
I HAVE MORE FRIENDS THAN I NEED BUT STILL A LONELY MAN
I SEE FOLKS HAVING FUN THEN I ASK CAN I PLAY
BUT THEY WON'T LET ME AND MEAN THINGS THEY MIGHT SAY
I SEE PEOPLE SMILING AND I WANT TO JOIN TOO
BUT FOR SOME ODD REASON I CAN'T DO WHAT THEY DO
THEY APPEAR TO BE HAPPY AND ALL FULL OF GLEE
BUT I DON'T GET TO BE SPECIAL SO IT WON'T HAPPEN TO ME
MY STORY IS NOT LONG IT'S RATHER SHORT IN LENGTH
ABOUT HOW DEPRESSION DEPLETES MY STRENGTH 
I SAID ONCE BEFORE PROBLEMS I WOULD OUTLAST 
BUT DEPRESSION ATTACKS STRENGTH AND IT FADES AWAY FAST
I WILL NOT DIE IT'S NOT PART OF MY DESTINY
AND I WON'T LET DEPRESSION EVER GET THE BEST OF ME
DEPRESSION IS PERSISTENT IN SINGING A SAD SONG
BUT I HAVE NO FEAR BECAUSE I AM STRONG
HAPPINESS IN LIFE I WILL REMAIN WITHOUT
BUT I AM THE ETERNAL PHLAME NEVER TO BE DOUSED
I HOPE THAT MY WORDS DID NOT START TO BORE THEE
BECAUSE I AM FINISHED THIS IS THE END OF MY STORY
