Depression

Do you wake up thinking life is really great
Everything around you seems a little darker
Plans made for today seems more distant
Reality it seems to be in a different world
Easily we forget even to do the mundanes
Smiling at others it can hide how we feel
Some people says it is all just in your mind
It may last for hours but also last a lifetime
Others have learnt how they can handle iy
Never look in the text books you not there

Thank you, I am only too well aware of depression as a sufferer and carer, it is no laughing matter, but I am blessed that I can express the way I do.
