Life With Depression

Life with Depression

Life can be confusing
Sometimes good, never amusing
it can turn you upside down
but never let it keep you down

Sometimes life is but a test
as God won't put too much on your chest
sometimes fail, other times the best
and for that I am truly blessed

This is not another depression
I awoke today without any aggression
with that I would like to make a confession
I am in possession, not manic depression

Woke this morning out of the fog
no dark clouds, none of the smog
the weight atop me has lifted
back to normal but I feel gifted

Yes I have depression
but class is now in session
I am happier than a clam
or Babe Ruth after a grand slam

I refuse to let it control me
thats why I'm happier than one can be
no way it ever takes me over
as I'm lucky as a four leaf clover

So today is a new start, as they all are
but with new advice, I'm off to my car
time to go get me a new recorder
for once put them thoughts in order

One last thing, I'm not "nuts"
but often do get stuck in ruts
but just cause it has a crazy name
doesn't mean I am the same

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 9/9/2019 5:44:00 PM Hello James Lutz, So nice to meet you. I sometimes get depressed. I play classical music to make me feel better. This works for me. My depression does not last too long. I do not have anxiety. I have a high aids hernias. Bothers me every day. Have a nice evening my friend.
Edmund Strempfl Date: 9/3/2019 6:38:00 PM I too have been diagnosed with major depression and anxiety shakes such that can't even make a coffee or tea as ends up on the floor. Very well written poem that enjoyed and related to.
Robert Lindley Date: 8/15/2019 5:51:00 AM My dear friend, I myself have knowledge of that which your very fine poem and personal note speaks. Depression and its constant sadness clouds are indeed such awful monsters to have to deal with. Your heartfelt verses and the expression of the upside highs is dead on the mark. A fav, a true gem of light...
