Depression

by lesley   Jun 27, 2006


Depression is a funny thing,
Effecting us all in a different way,
Depending on the circumstance,
And depending on the day.

I have days when I feel lonely,
I have days when I feel sad,
And then there are the other days,
When I'm feeling not so bad.

I never used to understand,
Why people wanted to end their life,
Did they not care what they left behind,
A distraught husband or a wife.

I thought about it one time,
It was my neice that made me think,
I thought how she wouldn't understand,
And how much her heart would sink.

So because your life doesn't go so well,
It doesn't mean to say,
That you can mess up your loved ones aswell,
By taking your own away.

So remember when you want it to end,
The pain doesn't disappear,
Cause all the people in your life,
Have now their own lives to re-steer.

Suicide is so selfish,
And the problems wont dissolve,
They move along to someone else,
That's right, they do revolve.
