I am not the long and severe market recession,
I am the one who to your mind gains accession,
I am the deadly dreaded debilitating depression.
I hunt for people who are melancholic and sad,
I hunt for people who are dejected and mad,
I hunt for people who have no hope and no glad.
I enter your mind and take away your appetite and sleep,
I enter your mind and let self-doubt and anxiety creep,
I enter your mind and make you restless, irritable and weep.
I am a guest in your house, some give me just a simple chair,
I am a guest in your house, some give me sofa and care,
I am a guest in your house, some give me their life, that’s not rare.
I don’t like to leave, some need true friends to pull them out,
I don’t like to leave, some need a good psychiatrist’s clout,
I don’t like to leave, some that I truly ever leave, do doubt.
Once to your mind I gain complete accession
Want to get rid of me that is the question?
It will not be easy for I am depression.
