On Depression…

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
