'Depression’
Take me back to my illusions
When I thought I was special
When I thought I was needed
When I thought I was doing the right things
When I thought I knew God.
When I thought that if you did it right
it would turn out all right.
When old age seemed remote.
When I got excited about baby birds.
When I thought dogs were necessary.
When I thought I looked kinda cute.
When commercials didn’t aggravate me.
When I saw a sparkle in my love’s
eyes when he saw me.
When it was fun to cook and bake.
When I brought flowers into the house.
When I loved to go shopping.
When mushrooms that popped up
in the yard overnight
sent me running for my camera.
When I cared if my car was clean.
When I used to put on makeup every day.
When I enjoyed going to the theatre.
When I actually planned to bake an apple pie.
When I loved to laugh.
When I didn’t feel all sad and lonely inside.
When I had energy to burn.
When I could run with ease.
When I got down on the floor
to play with kids.
When I thought a rainbow was a special miracle
When seeing a bluebird made my day.
When going on vacation
wasn’t a killing proposition.
When I still needed things to buy.
When renting a movie was a big deal.
When washing my car was fun.
When I enjoyed dancing.
When a nap refreshed me.
When I gave fresh baked goods
to my neighbors for no reason.
When I could write with enthusiasm
and enjoyed reading the finished article.
I think I am dead...
