Notes About The Poem

Fight Off Depression

Do you think I should find all I have lost, 
To search, to hunt, to explore?
And when I find all those feelings I had had, 
To lay them all bare on the floor.

Do you think I need to snap out of this numb, 
This indifferent state of a daze.
And become the glowing globe I once was, 
Emitting a rainbow of rays.

My joy and my thrilled, my sad and my troubled, 
My grace, and my kind and my cool.
I’ll bathe in these feelings each bit of each day, 
And display them like they’re a jewel.

Yes I will, I’ll proudly display my find, 
Display them on my face and my chest.
I will own every little feeling I find, 
And I’ll fight off being depressed.
