Notes About The Poem

DEPRESSION...THERE ARE MANY SUBJECTS SURROUNDING THIS MONSTER AND IT IS HARD TO BEAT. BUT YOU CAN BEAT IT, I DID, SO CAN YOU. HANG ON AND I PROMISE, WITH THE RIGHT HELP, YOU WILL RESIST THAT BANQUET EVENTUALLY.

VICKIE

A Banquet I Can't Resist

There are days when it feels like, 

I have survived on a banquet of madness.


I paid for the pain that feeds me, 

with a pound of stubborn persistence.


Depression entices my hunger, 

with a feast of perpetual sadness.


I wait for my dessert, called happiness,

That is met with much resistance.
