DEPRESSION!

DEPRESSION!

Depression is an illness brought on by a shattered past,

Basic skills, needs, & dreams fade away fast,

Immobilizing your will, confidence, thoughts & goals,

Slowly amercing you into deep holes,

Along come alcohol, poor communication & rage,

Both you & your family wishing they could turn to a new page,

Children caught up in the fight,

All needing to make things right,

Hope & tears burning dry,

And we all SCREAM why!

Life seems to fall apart,

Deep within everyone’s heart,

When & how will it end?

Can this ever mend?
