#11 The Great Depression
There are billions of people in the world, yet I feel like I'm alone
And all I try to do is right, but everyone seems to treat me wrong
So I lash out in rage, but what I say is never heard
Because I've learned to turn my cheek and swallow all these hateful words
But I'm getting tired now and I can only take so much
Because with everything that happens my soul is slowly being touched
So I make others laugh just to escape all my pain
But every time I'm down no one's there to do the same
So I sit back and relax, while I nurse all my wounds
As I lay terribly depressed in a dark solemn room
Somehow this little balled up aggression
Is slowly changing into an even bigger depression
Something I can't take and can't shake
And eats away with every second
I've now acquired too many emotions to ever explain
It feels like there's demons as well as angels fighting for control of my pain
And for some strange reason my heart is being pulled in opposite directions
One has the side of good and the other knows no affection
And I can't explain the way I feel, I just know I feel this way
From the second that I wake, till the time I end my day
Although I enjoy life and try my best to learn it's lessons
I just wish someone could teach me to escape this Great Depression
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the
other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and
the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
--Carl Jung
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just
a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
--Helen Keller

Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's what's in the
middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance
to float up. And it will.

Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
--Jean de La Fontaine
