Depression 2010
I've been suffering from clinical
depression for the last forty-five years.
I've been hoping and praying that I
could let go of my fears.

I pray to our Lord that His word
would heal me and I could defeat this plague.
Don't get me wrong - my body is strong
except for the way my brain was made.

Every New Year once more I really
realize what is wrong with me.
And every New Year I ask the Lord
from my sickness to be set free.

Some of you will think I'm just
talking in the sane old depression way.
That's all right with me - for you
also have to make it through each day.
