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.
