Depression - what is it?
It is an impression of being ill,
not physically but mentally.
The whole world seems to come to an end.
Life seems to have no meaning
and death maybe our only aim.
It only comes to mind
how many people hate us
or it may seem
nobody likes us.
We are a person
not required in this world,
still living,
our brain may stir.
But these are illusions
given to us by depression
And all we can see
Is only negativity.
We forget to recognize
the positive aspects of life.
The best way to drive away
the wriggly creature called depression
Is to forget the cause of it,
Forget all the sad things.
remember all the goodness,
and all the things good
seen and done by you.
And you will recognize
the beauty of life.
You will know nothing is good or bad.
It seems to be what we make it.
Nature serves as a good healer.
The sunshine, trees, flowers and birds
bring a new spirit in you
and a feeling of hope
which can fight and win over
the germ called depression.
