Poem about the depressed

No motivation, no desire,your mind wants you to do nothing today

Bombared by waves of sadness,the depressed often feel this way.

 

Can't see the good in anything,ohh the pointlessness of it all.

It is like the true you is trapped,enclosed behind tall prison walls.

 

On a bad day ,all you can do,all you want to do, is stay in your bed.

It would take too much mental effort, to do anything else instead.

 

One of the sad ones,one of the depressed, struggling to cope.

One of the angry ones,one of the bitter ones,those with no hope.

 

There are some lucky ones, who have escaped from the abyss.

The overwhelming desire to just give up,they managed to resist.

 

True strength is getting up, when every you fall and then carry on.

For some this is not the case and from this world they have gone.

 

Stand tall ,stand defiant,the daily urge to stop you must resist.

To those fighting illnesses of the mind,you must persist.
