Do Something About It
Let's clear up some misconceptions about being
depressed.
It's not too outlandish an idea to reconginze that
getting better
cannot be equated with
therapy.
Depression is a hunger for something lost or
missing.
What are you really doing
up at 3 in the morning
crying alone in an empty room?
Searching, craving
not something better, but anything.
A person so deprived, so lacking, will take
anything.
If you're not there for your friend in their worst state,
who will be?
What will be?
If they can't trust you with their pain,
why would they trust
a stranger?
