A lot of people tend to ask

About a concept they cannot grasp

So here I am to share a thought

about the things depression brought


Sometimes you can't get out of bed

When darkened thoughts are in your head

You groan and mope in old p-jays

And pray and hope for better days


Your bed's a mess and so is your hair

You should shower but don't really care

The dust on shelves and books alike

As you wait for strength to strike


You should probably move and get some food

But today you can't since you don't feel good

You haven't seen the sun in days

You've lost count of your 'I'm Okay's


You phone is off in case it rings

You can't be bothered with social things

Your door is shut for days on end

You just don't have strength to pretend


So, here's a rhyme to maybe explain

Why sometimes I am full of refrain

And there you go I tried my best

To tell you why depression's a pest.
