Anxiety and Depression

Mental Health

By Hassan ArewaPublished about a year ago 1 min read

All legends don't grow old and toothless

I don't want to suffer from pain in my 80s

Depression already took a toll on me in my 20s

Life is so full of tales,

Anxiety and Depression might make me lose my faith

Who can fill this space?

i feel lost on earth, I can't be found in space

Anxiety has made great men become depressed

I'm only 20 and already battling with mental sickness

Anxiety and Depression became my friends

I felt a thousand needles piercing my brain

All this for fame I won't take with me after I'm dead

I wish I could go back in time

I don't want to grow old yet, watching as time flies by

Already growing old and toothless

I don't want to suffer from pain in my 80s

Depression already took a toll on me in my 20s.
