When the depression screams

Silent shadows, hiding fears inside

Echoes of my past, nowhere to hide

Loud thoughts in my mind, they're crashing down

But I wear a smile, don’t let it drown

Hidden scars, buried deep in my soul

Fighting battles no one can know

I wanna scream but I keep it in

Caught between the silence and the pain within

Fading into the background, unseen

Living a life where I pretend I’m fine

Quietly drowning, lost in the noise

Hiding my pain, playing with my voice

If I speak out, what will they see?

A broken soul longing to be free

Every day’s the same, a muted disguise

Behind closed doors, I cry inside

Hoping someday, I’ll find a way

To break these chains and not betray

So I stay silent, day by day

Hope remains that I’ll find my way

Through the darkness, through the pain

To finally breathe again
