Depression and Self-pity Destroyed

Depression is an outcome -

She’s a daughter of a certain malaise

That’s known as an unwillingness to accept

That which life gives or displays.

When what we want and desire doesn’t come

And we refuse to accept that which does

The mind and ego throw a tantrum of sorts

And refuse to participate in life’s plays.

Self-pity is the energy that feeds depression

And that’s the energy that works full-time

As the mind latches on to a thought and emotion

And commits itself to a pathetic crime

What could be worse than killing oneself slowly

And strangling one’s spirit through self-pity

For that’s what happens when one’s depressed

As one sacrifices his talents and creativity.

If one begins to watch over his feelings and thoughts

As a spectator watches a game being played

And begins to see how his ego’s playing games

He’ll soon become a master not easily dismayed.
