I’ll try anything once

The lyrics in this song are so powerful. I believe that anyone suffering from depression, anxiety… actually I believe everyone should listen to this song no matter what you are going through. It definitely put a smile on my face and helped me look a life in a new way. I’ll try anything once. Thank you “The Strokes”

Ten decisions shape your life,
You’ll be aware of 5 about,
7 ways to go through school,
Either you’re noticed or left out,
7 ways to get ahead,
7 reasons to drop out,
When I said ‘I can see me in your eyes’,
You said ‘I can see you in my bed’,
That’s not just friendship that’s romance too,
You like music we can dance to,

Sit me down,
Shut me up,
I’ll calm down,
And I’ll get along with you,

There is a time when we all fail,
Some people take it pretty well,
Some take it all out on themselves,
Some they just take it out on friends,
Oh everybody plays the game,
And if you don’t you’re called insane,

Don’t don’t don’t don’t it’s not safe no more,
I’ve got to see you one more time,
Soon you were born,
In 1984,

Sit me down,
Shut me up,
I’ll calm down,
And I’ll get along with you,

Everybody was well dressed,
And everybody was a mess,
6 things without fail you must do,
So that your woman loves just you,
Oh all the girls played mental games,
And all the guys were dressed the same,

Why not try it all,
If you only remember it once,
Oooh ooooooh,

Sit me down,
Shut me up,
I’ll calm down,
And I’ll get along with you,

Depression Poem (My First)

Image

Depression is like a recession within your head.

Brain cells rummaging, wandering, restlessly until their dead.

Sleepless nights, full of freight, staying up til dawn

They say the grass is always greener, well not on this lawn

Demonically dark nightmares from alcohol and marijuana

Waking up with sweats as if my room were a sauna

Lacking confidence, desires, determination, motivation

No will to wake up, steady stuck in hibernation

Slashes on my arms as I hide from the rain

Lacerations, irritations, anything to feel some pain

Living in the dark watching life fade away

Oh how I wish I wasn’t depressed today
