DEPRESSION

DEPRESSION; I KNOW IT WELL
THE PAIN; IT BURNS TO TELL

NO SHARING, NO CARE,
NO SPARKLES, NO GLARE,

NO LOVING, NO JOY,
NO FRIENDSHIPS TO ENJOY,

NO SMILES, NO GLEAM,
NO SIGNS OF SELF-ESTEEM.

THE FEELING IS STRAINFUL,
FRUSTRATING, AND PAINFUL.

THE DREADED IS SORROW
AS IT MAY BE FELT TOMORROW

BUT WHO AM I TO BE DEPRESSED!
IT MIGHT JUST BE THAT GOD HAS BLESSED

AND THOUGH ITS HARD AT TIMES LIKE THIS
I MUST REMEMBER THAT I’M HIS

DEPRESSION; IF IT COMES TO YOU
REMEMBER WHAT THE LORD WILL DO

IN WEAKNESS YOU SHALL BE STRONG
YOU’LL GROW WITH GOD AMONG

IN PAIN WILL PEACE EXIST
WHY? BECAUSE YOU’RE HIS.
