"I Might As Well" by Shay-Renee

"I Might As Well"



I might as well wear black because of all my sadness.
I might as well not smile, there is no gladness.
I might as well cry because of all the pain.
I might as well be depressed because I'm mentally insane.
I might as well die, my life's a mess.
I might as well stay quite because of all this loneliness.
I might as well say nothing, say nothing at all.
I might as just sit because I always fall.

Fact:
"Depression is among the most treatable of psychiatric illnesses. Between 80 percent and 90 percent of people with depression respond positively to treatment, and almost all patients gain some relief from their symptoms. But first, depression has to be recognized."
