For all those with depression
A feeling that is wrenched
Avoid any obsession
To yield to your oppression

In dealing with this matter
Don’t listen to the chatter
Lift your head up high
It’s only a temporary disaster

See the underlining
Engage by confiding
In someone understanding
There’s no need to feel resigning

Open up your mind
You were put here by design
It’s the daily grind
That occupies our time

Let somebody know
You’re feeling kind of low
Stuck in the undertow
From the bar you set too low

Lift your spirits high
Let out what’s eating you inside
What occupies your mind
No need to run and hide

It’s just a passing feeling
That somehow has you reeling
Seek out medication
I know it’s unappealing

It’s a chemical imbalance
That can have you feel embarrassed
There’s nothing to be ashamed of
Its just another challenge

Overcome your fears
No need to wipe your tears
Speak out and be heard
To your family and peers

I know this from experience
If you’re dismissing my appearance
Life is way too short
For decisions so egregious

Just remember that you’re loved
From the lord above
Fight with all your might
When push comes to shove
