Spirited

Someone gave me a dictionary as a gift on my last birthday
But when I'm asked how I'm doing, I don't have the words to say

"I'm depressed and not okay" to me is the truth and the perfect reply
But people don't believe me because they think I'm a happy and great guy

Well, I think that's one thing I can confidently say I do very well
Hiding my feelings behind a mask of happiness which nobody else can tell

You don't have to worry about me because I'm holding on just fine
Things are better now than when I used to think I was running out of time

"Life is like a party, as soon as the music stops, you leave"
I can't leave yet when I still have a million things to achieve

I know it may seem to you like I'm just another BROKEN dude
God is the POTTER, with that alone, things will be fine as they should

See no matter how many times I may pass out from life blows.
I'll always survive and get back in the fight 'cos that's how life goes
