            Depression - the early years
            ============================


Here I am now
All alone in my bedroom thinking..
Crazed in blackness
How could a mother leave a child so helpless?

How could you?
Just rob me, just leave me
How do you dare to haunt me still?


-

I've found myself alone,
My mind is slowly loosing control
I don't know where I'm going or where my life has gone
Sometimes its so hard to keep drifting on and on

Empty years you left me,
Without care or pride
So much isolation's hard to bear - hard to hide


-

How can I
Talk to someone, talk to anyone
I trust no-one
How can I find happiness - help me decide.

Coming to terms isn't easy
Throwing money away on pointless things
One friend is all I need
Someone I can place trust on,
That day is sure to come.
