Depression is like a well

Sometimes you feel you're at the bottom
Looking up hoping to see a touch of blue
A warm ray of light
Something that will encourage you

Other times you are poised on the edge
Looking down into the dark shimmery waters
And you want to jump
To drown the ache is all that matters

You see it in the distance
Either behind or in front of you
Always there with a goodbye or hello
Most days now you bid it adeiu

Depression is like a well
