Depression
The drain
A confession
Of shame
A Lesson
Of pain
Depression

A no-win situation
At all
A wasteful contemplation
A bore
A mindless constipation
Of war
A massive self-destruction
Of loss
Secret human malfunction

So rise up and claim
Your own
Good fortune and fame
The bone
In your spinal frame
The known
Behind your first name

Remember who you are
Valued one
Life's journey is not far
Lonely one
Believe in that bright star
Special one
Follow it high and far
Only one
Chance from this disaster

Believe
Achieve
Relieve

Your confession
Your depression

Start now--today
Throw it away

With the life-line rope
The power of HOPE
