Life Savers

Depression is such a strange state of mind Thoughts go to the extremes Mood swings run rampant Yet, a strong person will hold onto Even the slightest bit of sanity Loneliness grasps your very soul Dreams are never truly realized Tear-stained faces no one ever sees Yet, an inner passion for life Keeps you moving forward Who do you turn to in the world we know today? How do you deal with such heart-numbing feelings? Just when things get roughest & all hope is gone Dig deep within yourself To find that thread you can hold on to Remember those who mean the most to you Keep in mind the things that make you feel alive Allow yourself to be loved Lifesavers come in so many forms One of these may be yours

This really grabbed me. The pain of being in that lost and lonesome place is almost intolerable and not something that shows like a broken leg. You describe it so well and I like how you offer solutions. Well done.

You words are so very kind. Thank you! All have had to, or will eventually have to, endure such pain. It's just a matter of remembering you have a support system, to help you through.
