Overcoming Obstacles to Treatment of Clinical Depression

_____________________________

We, the Depressed, in our darkest hours have

No energy to move

No reason to live

No will to survive

No hope in a cure

No reason to try.

We roam the earth as the living dead

Wanting only to extinguish

That persistent heart that beats,

That ceaseless breath that enters,

That pain that never relents.

Every cell of our being wants to die,

Yet Do We Live.
