If Only It Were That Simple

Depression can ruin your day
so keep it at bay
being risqué can help

Depression can drive your soul away
but joy can give your life sway
If you’re not too far gone

Depression is not your friend
let it bend
to your will

Depression is not healthy
it cannot make you wealthy
or wise

Help yourself
to the top shelf 
and pick the best of your brain 

But if it were that simple
I’d a done it a long time ago
Yo
