Legacy
I hope that one day I will be
someone who changed history.
I don’t desire publicity
just that I helped change society.
A better world we should know
and within it our young will grow.
Having the ability to express who they are
never marked with a scarlet star.
Acceptance of others a valuable tool,
those who refuse it play the fool.
If we are open to possibility
better solutions we will see.
It is not about you and me
but to society, a grand finale.
Please don’t remember my name,
just that we are all the same.
A better world we should leave,
and in that I truly believe.

Just Please, I'm Still Me
I only hope that you can see
Despite this episode, I’m me
Today, I feel very unwell
Messy hair, not dressed, you can tell
I may not feel like going out
One day I will again, no doubt
It’s just a setback I have learned
Do not be overly concerned
I have a self-destructive past
My episodes no longer last
At this time I still need a friend
But feeling well I’ll not pretend
Generally, just a few days
And I’ll return to normal ways
So many family, friends lost
For depression there is a cost
Right now I want to be alone
Still need a kind word on the phone
I may not eat and just want sleep
Sludge in my brain, a bit too deep
I may sit in darkness and cry
Still I’m comforted you’re nearby
If you don't know what you can do
Just ask me and I will tell you
Simply having a friend to care
Will make this easier to bear
Just snap out of it some will say
Depression does not work that way
My brain chemicals out of whack
Need to wait ‘til they come back
Medication I’ll always need
To go without scary indeed
Yes, I know what I need to do
So don’t need to hear it from you
Please just wait, I’m needing some time
‘Til out of this dark funk, I’ll climb
Eventually I will cope
Just please do not abandon hope
I only desire that you see
Despite this episode, I’m me
