And if they ask why you're depressed,
You ask them, "Why won't I be?"

'Cause when you see your family
Crying over the same issues day and night,
You get depressed.

'Cause when you face your dad
Breaking down by his daily chores,
You get depressed.

'Cause when you love a person
Who doesn't retort back the same love,
You get depressed.

'Cause when you see people around
Facing the pathetic realities of life,
You get depressed.

'Cause when you feel there's none
To call you their priority,
You get depressed.

'Cause when you isolate yourself
For years into the well of loneliness,
You get depressed.

'Cause when you have loads to express
But you end up saying, "I don't care.",
You get depressed.

'Cause when your mind doesn't know
What to follow - dream or passion,
You get depressed.

'Cause when your admirers say you've a long way to go
While you know the next moment might be your last,
You get depressed.

And it's okay not to be okay.

At times, it's okay not be okay. You are a human and you have equal rights to express your grief and sorrows as much as you express your joys. Many a times, you may face people who would tell you to control your emotions, but listen to your Soul and do only what you feel is right, unless it hurts anyone.
