How Many?

by @zac-hill

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?

Notes

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.
