Depression is a war,
Every day is a battle,
And every second, most are losing little by little.
But within each of us,
Is the greatest power,
The greatest force,
The greatest drive.
This drive, this power.
It is what we call hope.
Hope is our secret weapon,
Our toy from when we were little,
The one you keep losing,
The one you thought you would never find.
That is Hope.
If you keep your hope close to you,
If you keep it in your head,
You can win the battles,
You can win the war.
You can fight those urges to cut,
To cry, to scream,
To shout, to die.
You can help fight depression,
You can get out of it,
If you stay strong, and keep your hope close.
