Poem
Depression kills Real lives. Depression steals Real lives. Self-punishment Is not the answer. Self-fulfillment Is the profound desire To love oneself, to be proud, To hope and to cry out loud That happiness and success Are waiting near the corner. Suicide is evidently not the answer. Joy can neutralize anxiety, anguish and anger. Depression is a bad disease, take it seriously. Nothing is simplistic, simple or easy In life. Stay active, keep your mind busy; So your spirit can soar to the moon And come back safe and sound. Be a spoon Full of hope, love and sweet honey Which can tickle and energize body and soul. Trial and error is not bad, not failure, only a fool Will think so. The best is yet to come, tomorrow. Easy Come, easy go, and easy know. That’s the reality Of everyday life. Success is definitely relative. Keep on looking forward like a stubborn bee. Be strong and not be overly sensitive. Be naturally optimistic. The past is full of flaws And every day is a new season for fresh flowers. Even when the proverbial glass is empty, A few drops of rain may accidentally Fill it up to the top, to the periphery, Completely to the brim, Obviously to the rim. Hope is not expensive. Everybody has hope. Anybody can hope. Hope is extensive. Hope can destroy depression, Evil or ill feelings and isolation. Use your words to soothe the pain. Be your best friend all the time. Be vain To protect and to celebrate your life, And you’ll be able to defeat any strife. Conquer yourself, while doing so, You’ll surely escape or defeat the undertow. Danger is certainly everywhere. Be attentive and be not afraid to dare. Strike depression early to make it feeble or vincible, As you seek more help, aid or support. You’ll definitely be safe and untouchable, Before the ship leaves the harbor, the port. Danger is always lurking somewhere, Be resilient! Suicide is not the answer. You can defeat depression. You can always find a solution. Take depression seriously. Be a spoonful of hope, self-love and sweet honey!
