It’s over now, you can leave
I can’t remember the first day we met
when you swept me away
And I was caught in your net
I was in a sad place, that I remember
Alone with two hearts, I am their mother
I was all alone, with dreams that were shattered
Telling officials all that had mattered
I had to be strong and survive as well
I silently cried, I could not tell
The pain in my mind was yelling at me
The heart that was pure, defending me
I awoke each day, not seeing your face
No feelings allowed when in this place
You did not ask me to enter my home
Nor greet me hello , or any shalom
With no introduction, I thought about you
I did not know you wanted me too
Your insistence to see me when I was alive
Romanced my poor sorrow when I did drive
Your visits increased, you’d come unannounced
Not even a word you jumped in and pounced
You told me of things that I never thought
And how I believed..why the hell not?
Who could resist your admiral qualities
Undying devotion and potent loyalties
I was cold...so I put on your cloak
Not caring at all, my neck it did choke
So many times I loaned you my mind
It was just my way, to always be kind
You almost succeeded that time from before
But then I heard it, that knock on the door
It started so softly, so I wasn’t that sure
Since I was listening, my eyes chimed in too
The fog all around me divided in two
And there in the grey, was my break through
**
Dear darling depression, it’s been quite awhile
I thought of you last week, and I had to smile
There was a clear trigger that stared right at me
And then I remembered.. I’m ok to be me!

Paula, as somebody who suffers from depression and anxiety I know all too well how they make you feel. Very often people will suffer in silence rather than talk to somebody or seek help from a mental health professional due to the stigma people like me are put under. This is plain wrong!

Me too Joel...that’s why I’m not afraid to let it out now. The stigma is more the cause for prolonged diagnosis and relapse of you ask me...it’s almost borderline a disease of society really. I suffer all these. It’s a miracle I am still here today. Thank you so much my dear friend. You are safe with me! ????
