I'M Ok

"I" is for depression
That's what the grown-ups say I'm in
But they don't understand me
and I don't think that they can
I know that they were kids once
But forgot the way it was
Why can't I just feel sad
Without a reason or because
I don't need to see a Doctor
I don't need their stupid pills
I just need a little space
to strengthen up my Will.

I really like this read a lot Jerry. It says so very much in so many ways. My grandson is so much like this, bless his little heart. He always seems so sad at times, but always manages to smile before the day is through. Thanks Jerry this is Awesome and I will share this write with him.....Sharon A (7) for me.
