A Day In The Life Of Depression (1)

Rating: 4.0


Thick and oppressive
The blanket of despair
I know so well,
Envelopes me, shutting out
My usual self.

It cannot be explained.
The usual comebacks,
'Everybody feels down'
Tells me I have failed,
Once again to plead
For help.

I am fearful and tearful
I think only in the negative
I think largely of death.
Sadness for no reason.

Books and music have no excitement
I am reduced to tears
By a helpful hand
So helpless
I look for help
And find none.

My salvation is the referral
For professional help
Sedation and gentle treatment
Help me.
I am on a path to freedom.
