Alright young lady get back up
And quit acting like u been hit by a truck
You have no need to feel so low
So let’s take the past and let it go
You don’t want your friends to think your numb
Or have them worry that you’re oh so dumb
You’re not a teen with plenty to do
You take care of a brother who leans on you
So thank your lucky stars today
That you can breathe another day.

Again, I do not know how you do it – to me it sounds so impossible and yet you go on day after day with little reward. Sending love.

I love your poem, Terry. Sometimes we just have to sit ourselves down and give ourselves a good talking-to. It is far too easy to slip into feeling sorry for ourselves but that is so destructive. I pray that the Lord will truly be your shield and defense against depression.
