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 everyoneβs heart, When & how will it end? Can this ever mend? Written by Jaki Burman 23/11/09
