It's all fun and games until someone gets depressed...
by david-messmer
Shame, Fear, Mistakes, and Blame;
They're all games for fools.
To me, it seems all the same,
Like floating face down in a pool.
I understand the need to feel.
I understand you want something real.
Don't stumble back into the pain.
Take a few steps; walk out of the rain.
Any plant needs rain and grows.
I can trade your pain and give you a rose.
Take my hand and I can show you the sunlight.
I want to help you. I don't want to fight.
Don't stay in the rain too much longer.
I know One who is much stronger.
He can take your burdens, and set you free.
I know that depression. It's no place you should be.
