Conquer

Conquer


Heart craves to weep,
Emotions dying of cheat,
In firm grip of sadness,
Going crazy in madness,

Is what depression means !

Just a bit of courage,
Self assessment to encourage,
Knowing world is bad,
Life is both cheers and sad,

Is what elevates the mood !

Too much if you expect,
Always in end will regret,
Roses that you loved,
thorns are hand in glove,

Is what you need to ponder!

Your own self you need to conquer,
No pills needed, why to surrender,
To defeat any forces that subdue,
To negative thoughts must bid adieu,

Dictionary with no antonyms ?
That's what in the end you will get !!

Dr Upma, Congratulations on your win. I'm finally making time to read every entry, intended for me in Shadow's Hamilton depression contest. It was a tough fight, however at the end I prayed, and asked to take over and he did. WOW, it was what I call a miracle. Thanks for lifting my day with this poem... Love LINDA
