Why I keep My Windows open
There is something you should be aware of,
That I need you to hear of,
Something about depression that everyone should know about.
If a depressed person comes into the room,
You need to open all the windows,
And let a breath of fresh air in,
If you do not want to be using words that are stale,
Or in helping you will always fail,
In giving the one you love the chance to exhale,
And free themselves from hell for even a little while.
If you stay in a room too long with depression,
And the air remains stale,
Even if you are immune and think it safe to inhale,
Depression can still grab you by the shirt-tail,
And take you hostage because of your love of the one,
Who was not strong enough to open a window,
And let the fresh air in.
So, if your loved one you do not want to fail,
I hope you will think this more than a tale,
And let the fresh air in,
And if a burglar should see an opportunity to come in,
A knock on the head could be just the medicine they need,
And concussion is better than depression any day of the week.
