Life lately has been heavy,
A weight upon my chest,
Depression’s been my constant companion,
My mind feels like a mess.

I wake up each morning with a sigh,
Wondering how to make it through,
The days drag on with no end in sight,
And I feel so lost and blue.

But even in the midst of this darkness,
I know that I’m not alone,
For there are others who have been here before,
And who have come out whole.

So I try to take it one day at a time,
To focus on the little joys,
To remind myself that this won’t last forever,
That I’ll find my way through the noise.

Life lately has been a struggle,
But I know that I’ll survive,
And someday soon, I’ll look back on this time,
And know that I’m truly alive.
