“I can’t make you drink the water”
Let’s be honest
You’re not all that
You give up too easy
You’re persistent till it hurts
You break down and cry
Because, nothing ever works
You’re one of your word
But so often you’re not
You will choose not to fight
But say that you fought
You’re a liar!
You’re a cheater
Mostly to yourself
It’s an every day thing
You expect to maintain your health
But you can’t
and you won’t
And you don’t see the light
It’s like every day
Is followed by a long, sleepless night
You were told to chase a dream
But you just didn’t have one
You were told to be yourself
But you didn’t know who you were
You’re a pessimist and a downer
You hesitantly look around you
You make excuses like a coward
You claim your chin is held high
When it’s not
You seem to be talking
in your head a lot
You hide in your depression
Because that’s where it’s warm
Because where it’s warm
You can’t breath
And you constantly mourn
You’re mourning every night
Enlightening every morning
You think you’re original
But you constantly bore me
You’re a perfect image
Of what I am not
Not anymore
Because you filled the slot
Hey, we’ve all been there
But who’s calling the shots?
You are your own
And you don’t see that
You are only yourself
And you don’t believe that
You are bigger than the problem
But you don’t have a mirror
You’re a shot in the dark
And you never appear
You’re like a horse
I can’t make you drink the water
But I swear if you try it
The sun will feel hotter
Your life will be more
And the air will be richer
You’ll laugh at yourself
when you stumble across pictures
You’ll see your old self as a joke
How you’d overreact
And solemnly spoke
You were nearly a body
without understanding
Cattle run wild
Without any branding
Note to the depressed. You know when dogs see dogs that are smaller than them and they get scared? Sometime’s we’re like that too. We’re often shoulder to shoulder with problems that we can overcome, and if we get a mirror to examine the situation, we can find that we are much bigger than the problems we face.
