Another Fucking Song About Depression

my friend comes and visits me, stays with us from time to time. we met while deployed overseas, some relationships are hard to define. soon enough we were attached at the hip, inseparable devotion to one another. while in iraq we became the best of friends, a decade later our bond is stronger than ever. no need to make up the spare room, my friend sleeps within me. my doctors are concerned about us and so are my friends and family. they all say your bad for me, so i take their medications and therapy but still ten years later here you are, my friend depression you and i were meant to be.

welcome back soldier, you returned in one piece, you survived another tour. you were stop lossed but now your time is up, a veteran of the war. welcome home trooper, you got your discharge, now your back in your hometown. how does it look? how have things changed? can a life for you be found? it won’t be long before the symptoms of combat appear and are profound.

have you failed to adjust to the civilian life? and a hard time finding work? your relationships are distressed, suffering from post traumatic stress, slowly going bizerk. military culture created a stigma but you swallow your pride and reach out to get some help. the va, va puts you on a waiting list even though your a danger to yourself. veterans affairs gives you a death sentence, waiting months to years for mental health. the va, va puts you on a waiting list, now you killed yourself.
