There's a light
At the end of the dark tunnel,
But you keep focusing on
Disarray and muddles.
Count your blessings
not your problems, they say.
But what about the times,
when a problem's all up in your space?
What about the days,
when a nugatory thought weighs you down?
When you are clouded by issues,
that make you sigh and frown!
When you can't seem to shake
that pessimism, out of your head.
When you've so much to do,
but can't get out of bed...
The monsters in your mind,
get exponentially piercing!
Your ruminations and beliefs,
get increasingly self-menacing.
The stormy winds of depression,
oh, how will you bear...
When life seems worthless
in this bottomless state of despair.
Pause, hold up;
Take a step back or two.
Exist, barely, merely,
Yes, that'd be a major coup
To the present, to this very moment,
Pay heed
This too shall pass;
Until then, just breathe.
