Depression is a strong
and mighty character.

I don’t think I can beat
This horrible, confusing,
and terrifying thing

No road of clarity,
Only confusion.
I can’t find my way through
….

I open the door to the great song of depression,
floating in mountains, woodland and seas
It swirls up like a storm, leaves no recess forgotten,
and roars through the heart like the pang of disease

Everywhere, everywhere, sings sorrow a requiem
to the festivals, emporiums and fairgrounds of fun
Old ugly roads – see in each one of them
the mask of the clouds has drowned out the sun
…..

Sometimes a problem can be really tough,
We don’t know how to solve it
It makes us all feel really rough
There’s no hope we can dissolve it.

My depression’s been like that
I suffered from it for years
I tried to work out where I was at
And just collapsed in tears.
….

Bird of Melancholia,
Why do you not sing
And display all your feathers
On your beautiful wing

I see you have beauty
though I have such sorrow,
So show me your feathers
to bring joy for tomorrow
….
