Depression

Depression

Head hung down
Don’t look around
Like a ship aground
DEPRESSION

No joy lives here
Surrounded by fear
Cruel laughter I hear
DEPRESSION

Let me run away
I’m so afraid today
You know I can’t stay
DEPRESSION

You can’t understand
I’m supposed to be "the MAN"
Nobody seems to give a damn
DEPRESSION


Oh to laugh one more time
To know joy would be sublime
It all seems so distant in time
DEPRESSION

It’ll be OK
I’ll just go my way
"Maybe someday" you say
DEPRESSION

The world needs to listen
Sorrowful tears don’t glisten
Hearts hurt from this mission
DEPRESSION

*** Copyright 3/02 Tim R Rouse ***
Maybe I should clarify, this was written for every friend, family member and loved one who's ever suffered from depression.

I think nearly everyone could find something in this to relate to...I know I did. Unfortunately most of us (me, anyway), don't have the gift of writing as an outlet. You obviously have the "gift"...
