Depression Is---A Short Poem

Walk around feeling overwhelmed and full of dread,
having a heavy black cloud right over my head,
feeling like I'm part of the walking dead...

A very truthful take on depression, Cheryl. You nailed it right on the head. You feel like you're the walking dead. Great thoughtful poem, very well expressed by you. Love your work as always. Peace and love to you.

Oh, your sweet Mike; this is just a fictional! (But who doesn't get down in the dumps every now and then come to think of it…) Thanks so much for your concern my friend!:)
