Depression

Depression is a horrible thing!

It obliterates your mind!

It crushes all your hopes and dreams,

And joy of every kind!

It leaves you feeling empty,

You struggle through the day.

No matter what you say or do,

It doesn’t go away.

You try to think of happy days,

When everything was fine.

Although you try to make things right,

It doesn’t leave your mind.

You really have to fight it!

It taunts you every day!

The only way to heal your mind,

Is to think’ good things’ each day.

Try to turn the darkness into

Beautiful sunshine.

It may help to heal your depression,

And, it will help to heal your mind.

You might wonder how I know about

The words I’ve just expressed.

Well, I have been there once myself,

And, it was quite a mess!

It is hard to push it all aside,

And move on to a brand-new day,

But, I have found that fighting it off

A little at a time,

Is the best solution, for

Regaining a healthy mind.

Never Give Up!
