Depression is
a legion footslogging through the Pennines,
a cohort of darkness and no hope of light.

a bomb in the braincell,
the dry well when all that you
want is a drink.

the ulcer that bleeds
a culture that feeds on itself.

depression is a lesson in lonely,
a many headed hydra
a Medusa to confuse you
and your own mind to
abuse you.

Depression is not nice at all.
