I’m Depressed And Sad

I’m depressed and sad, to be home I should be glad,

But no, it’s empty and cold, no one to hold,

Just to have someone to sit and with and speak, friends and companionship I seek,

All I hear is the wind and the rain, all I feel is ongoing pain,

Absolutely alone, not even a sound from the phone,

Oh to pour out my emotions maybe shed a tear, but there is no one to hear,

Just to have someone, who I can hold and communicate, before it is too late,

I have me, myself and I, we can’t help each other, we just sit and cry,

There is no point no direction, with nothing or no one to expel my affection,

I sat and began to write, here comes the sun there goes the night,

After the darkness turns to light, must find a way to continue the fight,

The house is cold and getting small, I’ll just wait for the reaper to call,

Being alone, loneliness I hate, I crave companionship a mate,

Another lonely day to face, better keep the feelings in place,

Not wanting to cause sorrow or pain, I find life to be a total drain,

My lowest ebb, I seem to be, no light at the end of the tunnel can I see,

What to do, where to go, without letting emotions show,

Do the dishes, bake a pie, just trying to find a way to fly,

Failed yet again, still tied in knots, in pain,

I my head is confused commotion, have to let out this emotion,

I try all I know to clear my mind, no answer do I find,

Out of the house go for a walk, still I find no one, to whom I can talk,

Depression is turning into rage, go home lock myself in the cage,

Get the bottle, my friend, it will be here until the end,

Helps my spirits grow, but not the answer I know,

All hope is gone, but I must go on,

The sadness again did show, not even helped by the heater glow,

I don’t know what I have done that is so wrong, so bad, I’m depressed and sad,
