What to do when depression
Strikes again
With more of strength
And me falling weak & apart
Unable to get up from bed
For day or two
Unable to scream for help
Or speak up what's wrong
Lying there like a dead
Waiting for the depression storm to pass
I get up from square one
When it passes
But the destruction still remain
Taking one step at a time
To reform oneself
And fix the armour more stronger
Than ever
To wish for more strength
To weaken the depression storm
And make myself more stronger.
Depression is real. It hits hard and makes oneself paralyzed. How to overcome, still strategizing for years. To make oneself more stronger and finding ways to help oneself when no one around.

I wish you could see all the things in my mind.
Like a world filled with laughter ...
Folks caring and kind.

No cause for sickness or fighting or need.
A contented place ...
where kindness takes lead.

Those five letters they don't make a sound.
That horrible word ...
no where to be found.

That stigma, just isn't known at all.
That terrible trait ...
No longer our fall.

Those horrible, ruthless people, that will only feed.
Five letters consuming our hopes and our dreams ...
A disease killing all of us, a disease called ... greed.

Without them around, all is at peace.
This place in my mind ...
where contentment won't cease.

I wish you could see it.
All hand in hand ...
Mankind, working together across every land.

This place in my head.
It's not as far as you'd think.
As all of time goes, we could be there in a blink.

For we are the humans on top of the hill.
We've been given the greatest gift ever known ...
the power of free will.

If we gave up money and the chase it ensues ...
If we just cured greed ... made it all go away ...
our silly race could stop paying it's dues.

If we would simply stop this "trickle down" effect.
If all the shareholders couldn't demand more and more money ...
it would bring this country correct.

Glorious indeed.
I wish you could see it.
It is my hope, I've now planted that seed.

For God's sake ...
For your Children's sake ...
For all of our sake's ...

STOP the madness!
If all the shareholders stopped demanding more money and more money, we could financially heal ... ALL OF US. But as long as this madness goes on, their quest for "more" will slowly bring this country to it's knees.

REMEMBER THAT I SAID THAT.

As their thirst grows, companies are forced to increasingly give less and charge more ... a dangerous and frightening bubble that will inevitably burst.

This could be solved with something SO simple, you wouldn't BELIEVE it.

All you have to do is take away the VOTES that come with shares. These votes give these filthy pigs the ability to DEMAND more money from a Company that is not a living being. It has no soul with which to realize what it is doing is wrong. It just does what it is told by the "voters".

Take that away ... MAKE companies behave as "Success Driven" and NOT "Profit Driven" entities. Because, no matter how you look at it, with "success" comes profit. Make  the share holders be SILENT partners that take their dividends and live in peace. Deny their ability to demand MORE AND MORE each year and this stigma that is destroying us will go away ...

Just like THAT!

THINK about it ...

Crowds gather in the waiting train
Kids fidgeting
Mothers panicking
Man with eyes of steel
glares at me from the opposite seat
Suddenly the train lurches forward
quickly gathering speed
All the tension seems to lift
Kids settle down
Mothers look out of the window
Man opposite puts his head back
and closes his eyes
Yes, the journey has now begun

She ran her fingers
across her bookshelf,
allowing the dust
to coat her nails.
The sound of shuffling pages
filled the room,
creating music,
to which she couldn't help
but dance.

hell is a place where
you constantly love those that
do not love you back.

My self worth sleeps
with my self loathing
and the devil is watching
the whole thing go down
and whats one more scar
on a dented heart
and it hurts to breath
but it feels good to bleed
so I keep something sharp
underneath tear soaked pillows
and there is a dream somewhere
saying all this pain is worth it
and there is a reason somewhere
saying to keep my head up
and there is someone
who wants to listen
and there is someone
who wants to say something
and its all been said before
but maybe we can say it
one more time and maybe theres something more to living
than watching the devil
watch my self worth
sleep with my self loathing

I hope you find
What all you like
As you move
Along this path of life
And that your walk
Is straight and true
I hope it all
Works out for you
And that you find
Someone to love
Someone to share
All you're dreaming of
Someone to take
You by the hand
Someone to help
You along this path
