DEPRESSION'S QUEEN
She walks out in the morning sunrise
And never notices the sky.
She sees the cracks across the blacktop
And the cigarette butts hiding there.
She see the runnel in the gutter
From overwatering the lawns
But never looks above her shoulder
to see the cloud-forms in the sky.
Her gaze is always pointed downward
As if there’s money on the ground
And she will be the one to find it,
Not caring that the sky is gold.
She maybe sees a flower blooming
In another neighbor’s yard
But doesn’t spot the humming bird
That darts among the blossoms.
A fog of gloom hangs over her
Obscuring every scene
She has no wish to brighten up
She is depression’s Queen.

I used to walk with her til I couldn't do it any more. I happily walk alone now.
