Ode To Depression

I found it unkind
how it messes with your mind
it has you thinking everything is fine
meanwhile inside you're dying
and outside you're crying
as you've reached the end of the line
it makes you keep your distance
and when someone offers help
you always offer resistance 
until it tells you to get therapy
complete with happy pills
and free refills
which has the tendency 
to cause codependency 
but I'm too stubborn to be an addict
so before my mood became too erratic
I stopped
and changed my focus
hoping it wouldn't notice
because it never has full control 
that's what it wants
so if you beat it once 
you can do it again for good this time
if you don't like the way it makes you feel
then it's your job to show it what's real
it can make you turn cold
but that's where you have to be bold
because who you want to be
will help change what you see
so if you have the faith
you can make it
know that you don't have to take it 
be brave to it
and not a slave to it 
say goodbye to it
then wave to it
