If You Are Down

If you are down and out, losing hope Call your friends. The ones who bring you up Not the other ones. Not in the mood? Of course not. We hide out when we need them the most. We retreat when we should be calling for help. Open the shutters, bring up the shades. Let the sun reach you. You like it dark, and dismal and dreary? It helps you feel miserable, and lost. Okay. Before you eat or drink yourself Into a melancholic frenzy, please Let the sun come in just a peep, Maybe a crack tomorrow, a little bit More each day. As soon as it meets you full force, Your Vitamin D will kick in And please turn off the TV And the electronic devices. Now is the time to Heal, not to Ignore Your Heart. My prayers are with you my friend. We have all been somewhere like this and it is not fun.
