An Aid To Depression 2 (Follow up as requested)

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.

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!!!
