Depression Uprooted

         Depression, intermingled with suggestive inhibitions, was surrounded by pleasures and dissatisfaction. Grounded by thoughts, I was tormented with doubts when I began to pout.

         What should I do to get out of this mess? Would I keep on digressing? or Would I share my writing ability with my friends? When wintertime ended, this is what depended upon to get me out of this doldrum pit.

         To me, understanding depression is tough; it reminds me of a recession. When I am surrounded by laughter, thinking that there's no way out of this cold weather, who would understand these feelings of mine? I tell myself not to be afraid; it's best to get out there and express myself.

         What skills do I want to be fulfilled? How would I be compared to others who share? After all, it's my right to express some delight. It's time to see the light when darkness tends to overcome the barriers that prevent me from being who I am.

                   It's very appropriate to stand my ground and make some sounds; the confusion will have to go away. Music is the buffer mentality that brings me back to reality. It's the perfect pick-me-upper; it's the song in my heart that gets me off to a brand-new start.

         Making up my lyrics gets me away from all hysterics. In my mind, there's no place for defeat, dancing gets me back on my feet. I don't have a clue whether it's rhythm and blues, or time to show off some rock and roll. With its great acoustics, going down memory lane, it must be country music

         The kind of gymnastics that people want to see and hear, the classics hit my ears, knowing that this year will be great.

         There's a big reason for the new season. To get in the groove with a trademark move, you can smile along with my new song. Move to the right and then to the left. We'll all get a giggle when I start to wiggle; it's time to laugh together in style.

         I can't help it; the depression is gone. Suppression is no longer kept inside of me. I'm now out in the open. Happiness has been restored! I've been gifted with a new outlook on life.
