Depressionnnnnn

Depressionnnnn… When the only light you’ve seen for the last thirty-six hours Is what filters through the blinds (or the refrigerator light) And thirty of those thirty-six, you’ve been asleep, You know that you’re depressed. When even GOD feels tired of hearing you, You know that you’re depressed, and the point of staying awake is… WHAT? To GRADUATE? FROM WHERE? LIFE? No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, NO! That’s when you act, even if you have to have a MAGNET, (A therapist, A friend, A job, A goal, A church) To pull you out of bed, and into the world, again. That’s when you pray mightily, because there is an army of negatives That seem arrayed against you. Whether the army is there, Or not, You can FEEL them, The weight of all that’s left UNDONE, The Vicissitudes, The Cheats and Swindles and Lies… Do I make myself clear? Every day is a Beginning, And the strange thing is, you may find yourself enjoying it! ‘Cause Life and Breath and Dreams (even the Halves of Dreams) ARE ALL WORTH IT. GOD CARES! And the proof is, we’re all still HERE! That I am here, today, is proof! Remember that old line – ‘it was then, that I carried you’.
