Chronic depression
And an uncontrollable obsession
I well up at the sight
Of a normal mans delight
I can take no pleasure
In everyday measures
My heart is much to dark
For any light of yours to spark
I'm lost out at sea
And just left to be
His diagnosis
I want you to talk to my friend
He's dealt with problems within
He'll prescribe perhaps a pill
Which will make it easier to deal
He'll talk to you a while
Digging deeper until you smile
He'll bring out that inner glow
Trust me I know
You come back in say a week
You'll sit you and I will speak
The results
The week has passed I'm here to tell
I'm still locked in my emotional cell
My symptoms have remained to be
Stuck seemingly inside of me
And more I gain everyday
Sadness, heartache, with nothing to say
The feelings have crossed into the physical plane
My joints they ache my skin is plain
His final assessment
I've done for you all I can
And I just may understand
My past diagnoses it was wrong
Its good we met again before to long
I'll send you to another friend of mine
With her you should spend more time
My conclusion
I've wrestled with these demons here
I've talked to strangers and exposed my fear
I've heard every word they have had to say
And still I sit here despondent this way
I've found my cure to all this strife
There is no cure for life
