When I Am Depressed

When I am depressed I float in self-pity I roam in fantasy I bask in solitude When I am depressed Thought of God bores me Thought of family irritates me Thought of life bores me When I am depressed Doctors question than test Doctors suggest than prescribe Doctors philosophize than treat When I am depressed Self-confidence eludes me Self-worth evades me Self-criticism controls me When I am depressed I loathe your presence I detest your concern I NEED YOUR LOVE

Ah yes the endless test, however when there remember you share a very large space with so many souls. And to your final line..it is mine..so know... I know nobody that I do not give unconditional love
