Oh look at them
Lost in worry
Lost in sadness
Sharing it on their smartphones
Sharing it to the glass walls they speak to

Nowhere to go?
Nowhere to hide?
How many more of them will fall?
Fall into the shrinks office
Where they frown and whine

It's spreading like a disease
Do I not qualify?
Do I not suffer like they do?
Or do I know how to take the pain
Morphing it into optimism

How many more of them will fall?
How many can I catch?
Will I be enough?
Enough to help
To help show love and compassion

How many more can I steal from the shrink?
How many more can I show that they are stronger
Stronger than their pain
Stronger than their worry
How many can I shine upon?
It feels like of lately coming to the end of another semester of college I find more and more of my classmates and friends falling in this state of depression. I've been through hell and feel like they have nothing to complain about but, maybe it's just that way we handle it, or better yet they're not handling it. I've come to learn it takes more than a shrink to just listen to you or complain about your life on the web, no it takes more than that. It takes you, yourself to overcome your problems and have better outlooks in your life. Then you can begin the path to a happier present.
