Poem

Depression is not treated by putting on lip stick 
you stand in the mirror and put on the tears snot 
drooling in your mouth behind the curtains awaiting 
to go out on stage and face an eager audience depression
stings like a bee you painfully feel it you can't hide by journaling 

writing poetry being clinically depressed takes constant
medication to control the chemical imbalance inside the brain
every brain in different although everyone gets sad it's a human
emotion being depressed for life is a cancer that has to be 
treated professionally or the consequences can be very fatal 

millions die every year from suicide sadly homicidal suicides 
no one should encourage anyone in such a state to just write 
a book glamorize depression this euphoric thinking results 
in suicide notes and suicide planning this can be a dangerous 
ticking time bomb without medication why all suicide notes are 
poetic lyrics mental health ptsd are not a greatest hit anyone
I mean anyone in such a state needs to put down the lipstick 
put down the pen stop typing suicide notes do yourself a favor 
and make that call I did thirty years ago I am still taking 
medication in therapy and writing poetry I'm alive I survived 

my own suicide many are not alive to tell their story or just 
write poetry or publish a book don't be a deadline the greatest 
poets are read only after death don't make your suicide note 
a greatest hit on your own life save yourself save someone you
love get help stay own your meds clock is a ticking notebook
