Depression!

Depression!

Oh! Heaven save

my disturbed soul,

deliver my troubled

soul from hades,

lift burden off

my heart, and

heavy yoke from

head without

a carrier pad.

 

Depression makes me

empty,

life interest me no

more,

hope before me

seems hopeless.

Anxiety rules over

unsettled today,

disquietude makes

tomorrow uncertain.

 

Depression-

many are your strings,

deadly whenever pulled-

many are your

hurtful arrows,

arrow of sadness,

fusillade of anger

overactive missile,

burst of rage,

gall in place calmness.

Placidity lost,

withdrawal takes place

of vivaciousness;

guilty conscience replaces

clean and calm heart,

aches, pain, and insomnia

all day long in body’s temple.

 

Depression-no one is

immune from your

anger-

women-you turn to

workshop,

men-you harass every day,

children-you show no pity.

Depression! Depression!

Depression!

Distress me no more,

demoralize me no more,

dishearten me no more,

deject me no more,

dispirit me no more,

dismal me no more,

dingy, dark, dreary, and

drab-me no more.

 

Depression-

wanna be free from

making letter “D”

unfriendly.

More than 350 million people suffer from depression worldwide, annually, United States records 3 million new cases of depression annually; in fact, the number could be higher than projected, if one considers nations, where data are not reliable or not available.

Regardless, depression-a depressive disorder that affects mind, which in turn interferes with daily activities of working, sleeping, studying, and eating-activities-man derives joy have become a global scourge.

Advancement in medicine has not offered permanent solution, because causes of depression are multi-faceted.
