Depression

Low spirits and utter despair,
She had lost all her flair,
Time stagnated !

How long could the wait last,
Dejected heart to the full to blast,
Incurable hopeless !

Sun could not shadow gloominess,
Her very being deprived of happiness,
Hope against hope !

The injury quite a deep and severe,
His vengeance extremely clear,
The wretchedness !

Don't suppress else will depress,
Just look beyond there's life,
End up melancholy, live to strife,
Shun sadness !

No recession can everlast,
Essential to counter depression is,
Dispassion,
Dissociate,
Flagellate,
Backfire,
Slam your passion !
Be sassy and warble !!

My aunt has struggled with depression for 10 years, and it has not been easy for my family to watch her go through that. I hope there will be a cure someday... Congratulations on your win with this uplifting and expressive write! Nicely done, Dr. Upma!

Dear Dr. Upma, How I wish my mother could have seen this poem. When she died in 1984, depression was an undiagnosed affliction. I'm sure it led to hear heart attack though. I love the last verse as it offers suggestions and hope for those who battle depression. (I feel it sometimes too, but not every day like mom.) Love, Carolyn
