Depression is the dark night of the soul
The one that begins to take a toll
On your health, friendships, relationships and overall wellness
No one sees the moments when you’re in a mess
No one talks about the days when you can’t get out of bed
When anxiety, shifting moods, and sadness leaves you in dread
Everything feels like too much, even talking seems to hurt
You wear the same old clothes and forget about your favorite shirt
You forget to eat because you have no appetite
You ask yourself, “How many more days of this fight?”
You begin to wonder how you ended up in this plight
There is HOPE my dear
The sky may seem dark now but it will slowly become clear
Tell your truth to someone that you care about
And let them guide you along the healing route
The path of light and well-being awaits you
Wear your best outfit with the brightest hue
And always remember, I love you
