What Am I

When let down and things go wrong
And dejection comes along
When you catch another blow
You are feeling very low
When your ego is deflated
By the mood that’s been created
I am there to give my aid
Trust in me, don’t be afraid
I can go an extra length
To provide a touch of strength
Till depression is replaced
And dejection gets erased 
In no time I make your day
Then roll on; get on your way!
