Depression Isn't A Sign Of Weakness. Poem by David Boyce

Depression isn't a sign of weakness.

When you are suffering with depression,
And you are looking out,
No matter what anyone says,
Every thought is full of doubt.

There is no easy solution or cure,
It's not click on demand,
You really have to suffer with depression,
For you to really understand.

When you are feeling down,
It can really hit you hard,
But to get you back on your feet,
Some counselling is on the cards.

It's good to speak to others,
Not affected by your heartache and strain,
Because they can give impartial advice,
Without taking all your pain.

Depression isn't a sign of weakness,
It can happen to anybody at any time,
You may just need that one person,
To be there when you cross that line.
