The Dark Veil

I slipped into depression I never thought I would As I really liked to mingle At every chance I could But the beast it got me When I was off my guard Stopped me my life from living That hit me very hard The tears my cheeks would water Without a single thought To go to do my shopping Would make my body taut My breathing started racing And my heart to pump so fast That I thought that I was dying And the next breath would be my last Then I started talking Found out I was not alone There are thousands of us out there Afraid to leave our homes So if you feel like I did Please do not give up hope There is a life after depression And sharing will help you cope
