Poetic Verses

Depression

I can rise above and
chase away the blues,
even when I'm down and out
from watching on the news.
The negatives, I'll let it go
no matter what is said.
In everything I see and hear,
don't keep it in my head.

When I'm feeling bad
and just want to sleep,
I can rise above it
a smile I'll try to keep.
There's no need to feel low
in all I say and do.
I'll have you know it's of myself,
it isn't caused by you.
