Depression
Depression is a choice we make
No one can inflict it upon us
Were fated to make the same mistakes
When failing to see what's beyond us
Emotions are the tools we have
They are not a part of our being
They are the masters of the ones
Who stumble through life without seeing
But if you could calm the seas
And not be moved by every breeze
Then youl cure your minds disease
And reach the center of your being
Thoughts may tug you here and there
And suddenly catch you unaware
And repeatedly lead you astray
"Were only human" as they say
But one who masters their own mind
Has changed from human to divine
The lesser cares no longer blind
To one who sees the grand design
No one can inflict it upon us
Were fated to make the same mistakes
When failing to see what's beyond us
Emotions are the tools we have
They are not a part of our being
They are the masters of the ones
Who stumble through life without seeing
But if you could calm the seas
And not be moved by every breeze
Then youl cure your minds disease
And reach the center of your being
Thoughts may tug you here and there
And suddenly catch you unaware
And repeatedly lead you astray
"Were only human" as they say
But one who masters their own mind
Has changed from human to divine
The lesser cares no longer blind
To one who sees the grand design

it may not feel like a choice.. Its like its beyond us. I think the problem is desire and attachment to a certain outcome.. When that doesn't work out as plan we cant accept that.. We feel like love is entitled to us ( and it very well is) but if we learn to love ourselves unconditionally first it wouldn't be so important that we get it from others. We demand it. We don't see that as selfish at all.. but the only true love is unconditional.. That means that you give love without demanding it in return.. We want them to love us to validate not just to others but to ourselves that we are someone of worth.. that's because we feel separate and not connected to the world out there.. not knowing that all is one in reality. What you call your self is just a part of the Great Self So..in reality were only seeking love and approval from ourselves so give it to yourself!

WOW! excellent ink - love the rhyming scheme.
In the main I agree with the choice thing however we have interfering doctors and invasive prescription drugs to add to the mix, oh yeah and the mentally un-ballanced. leaving those aside I agree that choice is everything.
Your last stanza is perfect :-)
