Depression

The public face we want the world to see
Making us laugh for no extra fee
Tears of joy when we see your face
A hole in our lives that no one can replace

 

Why is this illness such a taboo?
It could happen to anyone, including me and you
Starting off as a low point, getting worse by the day

For all of our highs is this the price we pay?

 

A situation we can’t escape, there is no end
Sometimes all you need is a conversation with a friend
An olive branch to offer or a helping hand
A short step away from more sinking sand
A situation we can’t escape, there is no end

Sometimes all you need is a conversation with a friend

An olive branch to offer or a helping hand

A short step away from more sinking sand

 

Depression can happen to people who are quiet or loud

Someone in the shadows or standing out in the crowd

Be aware of this illness and don’t judge too soon

Goodbye Mork, enjoy your trip past the moon
