Depression

Dreadful, daunting depression

the next step down from sadness

it takes control

of your soul,

that's just my impression.

Suicidal sufferer,

she hangs herself in darkness,

free that noose

set it loose

then promise to live happier.

Sobbing mournful child

whose mother has just died,

wipe your tears

forget your fears

then roam happy and wild.

Decaying, dying mum,

your days are sadly numbered,

begin to thrive

whilst you're still alive,

the journey has just begun.

Overworked and underpaid,

downward spiral of vigour,

take a break

for your sake

with the money you have made.

Heartbroken hurt lover

whose partner was wayward,

forget the past

although aghast,

you will find another.

Defeated, diminished; depression

although difficult the some,

forget your sorrow

pray for tomorrow

and depression is overcome.
