Whispers

The voices you hear in your head
That tells you to take your life
It never shouts
It only whisper

Let's get over the stigma of depression
It is just like a common cold
Seek treatment and you'll get better
Seeking help is not a weakness
There is strength in vulnerability
There is nothing to be ashamed of
Depression may vary from person to person
A certain event in life may trigger it
Like a loss of a loved one
A bad grade
Or getting bullied
It can come and go
Or it may stay with you throughout your life
You may feel like life is hopeless
And there is nothing worth living for
And that's when the whispers come
Whispers?

Never feel right with the whispers inside us
Jump out of the window
Telling us lies as we try to denial it
Hang yourself
Never feel right with the whispers inside us
Cut your wrists
Call them whispers and they never go away
Overdose

We shut ourselves away from friends and family
Sometimes we don't do it consciously
Other times we are afraid of rejections
What if I told someone and they say they don't care
We worried about the stigma as well
Will they treat us differently if we say we have it
We stop doing things that once brought us joy and happiness
It just seems so mundane
Because we just can't access our positive emotions
We try to put on a smile and pretend that everything is alright
But the truth is deep down, we just want things to stop
We just feel tired and nothing is worth doing
The feeling of worthlessness is overwhelming
The thoughts of ending things come frequently
And I call them whispers
Whispers?

Never feel right with the whispers inside us
Overdose
Telling us lies as we try to denial it
You should kill yourself
Never feel right with the whispers inside us
Hang Yourself
Call them whispers and they never go away
Cut your wrists

The first step of recovery is seeking professional help
With help, we can learn to handle our own thoughts and emotions
Learning how to cope with the feelings of negativity
Imagine breaking an arm
The medication is to stop the pain
The physiotherapy is to help you regain function
It's the same thing as depression
The medication is something to help
But therapy helps you regain function
Things will not get better immediately
But with perseverance and the right help
Things will get better
We can access our positive emotions again
Enjoy the things we once love
With therapy and medication, we can handle our depression
Don't give up, we can overcome this
The whispers will stop soon.
