Oppression of Depression
A spontaneous enigma rooted in doubt and despair.
Attacking the inside and destroying the outside.
Capturing hundreds of viable victims everyday.
Poisoning its host as a parasite would-
Sucking the life out slowly and painfully.
The weed uprooted, a life of confidence and comfort emerges;
A life lacking in the destruction of the mind.
People waking everyday purified with the promise of new mercies.
Being unconcerned with "what if",
Communities building each other up.
A world changed without depression.
