When all your energy is zapped

and drained away

when no one listens to what

you have to say

when your tears have dried up

from frustration

and you’ve lost hope in determination

when your mind is numb from pain

and you’re sure you’re going insane

you are not alone

others feel the same way

dreading to face another day

life can be so cruel and unfair

people just don’t seem to care

you need to find something to do

that will benefit only you

don’t worry about what others think

they will only watch as you sink

gather up the strength that you need

to reach a goal and to succeed

you are to important to give up on

lift your own spirits until the

depression is gone

once you have found a new way

to begin

you will view life with

hope again
