A poem I wrote- Depression

I wrote this about living with Chronic Illness and the Depression that goes along with it at times in our 'flares' of our illnesses.. I wanted to share it with you.. Hugs and Blessings Jayde Dow

DEPRESSION

Let me tell you of depression

And the anxiety it brings

It is a pain we can't see

Created by so many things

People hurt people

Sweet revenge it is called

But it all just creates

A bitter end to it all

People get depressed

For all sorts of reasons

It is always happening

From season to season

Some people get depressed

Because they don't have enough

And others because

They find that times are too tough

Some people have it all

The yachts and the mansions

The cars and the money

Yet no love creates their depression

Society creates depression

Psychiatrists try to fix

But you never seem to fix it all

Always little bits you miss

A famous statement

You'll Bounce Back!

But every time it happens

The bounce tends to lack

A ball will bounce

Only so many times

And after a while

It loses its shine

I guess we will never know

Why we go through such pain

Is there an end to it all??

We just have to keep trying again!!
