To overcome depression you must act like a boxer! Each time you get knocked down you have to get up and fight back harder than before.
A lady cutting up her credit cards over a pile of unpaid bills.
I've had great response to my recent poem,
It's called, 'An Aid to Depression'.
Sure you can use it to help others along,
I hope it widens their vision.
I had an email from someone today,
Who said they owed forty grand:
At one time I owed ten times that amount;
They guessed I would understand!
Some years ago I fell into the trap
Of becoming disillusioned.
My business went burst, I lost my house and cars;
It caused a great deal of confusion.
For eight to ten weeks, I was in quite a state,
Till I finally found the cure!
I had to sort out the mess and make amends,
If my future I wanted to secure.
So I went to the banks and my creditors
And put forward a proposition:
I gave them the lot, everything I owned;
I started once more with nothing.
There are different scenarios for everyone
But they all add up to the same.
Allowing circumstances to eat you up,
Will keep you helplessly lame!!!
