Depression
Depression is sickness, not something made of mind.
It can pass by, if you're lucky, over time can unwind.
For some, it does do harm, can burn like a cigar.
And for some, it can cut skin, and leave a scar.
It's a state of confusion, and you don't know what to do.
But you grin and bare it, try to make it through.
But on some sad occasions, it can take a Life...
If we're not helped, and taken from the knife.

Agreed. It's a sensitive topic but you capture it well.

Oh my gosh, how do you do it? I love so many of your poems and this just another amazing one. I'm so envious.
I can relate with this one completely. I feel this way most of the time. It's sad how far it can go.
