Dear life, here I am struggling again in silence
Trying to find my way in a world full of darkness and violence
I was diagnosed with depression
Which is the result of failure and success obsession
It is by my definition, the lack of enthusiasm and motivation
With lot of anxiety and frustration
Every day I hated the morning alarm because I was afraid to face my day
Dreams were the only place where I can escape and stay away
There were mornings I didn’t want to wake up
Life sort of seems meaningless, so I just give up
People were asking why you’re dramatizing things
I wasn’t answering yet they keep questioning
What do you have to be depressed about
Again, no reply, just letting time made them find out
My glory days were flashing by
And All I can do is pray and cry
My dreams get shattered in front of me
At that moment, I lost hope about all I can be
I don’t know how I did survive
Maybe that was god’s willing to stay alive
And I’m grateful that I get over it
That’s all I can confess now and admit
So never lose hope
Never say nope
Hold on the optimism rope
When it’s so dark
When it’s too black
Never let anything pull you back,
A child will never give up on trying to walk
Nor will he ever stop trying to talk
Does this situation get you in shock?
A bird will never give up on trying to fly
Every time he falls, he does retry
It’s a true fact that you can’t deny,
It has to be tough
It has to be rough
Even the darkest night has got the moon’s light
Just hold on, the road will appear clear to your sight
Come on
Your dreams await
Would you like to be late?
Things may increase or dwindle
Even stars need the darkness to twinkle
Come on
If you want to make it till the top
Don’t let anything make you stop
Your dreams await
Would you want failure as your final fate?
