Frequently Encountered Mental Emotional Issues

When depression seizes you
it is like the ending of every line
is the same as the ending of every line
and there is no variation from the ending of every line
and it seems like it takes a little bit longer to get to the end of every line
and you wish you could wish for something different in the middle before the end of every line
and though every line technically rhymes there is no whimsy or silliness before the end of every line
but there is a switch
-- there is; you can find it --
flip it and then
you might find you don't mind it.

Frequently Encountered Mental Emotional Issues

Say what you will
on the trials of depression;
at least it is not
the black hole of obsession.
There is, they say, treatment
for the mind's several ills;
talking, in sessions,
or failing that, pills.
