I feel so yellow,
like nothing can bring me down.

I drown in blue,
and I realize how easily I'm dragged down.

I burn bright, searing red at how easily tricked I am,
yet I grasp onto the flames.

Purple surrounds me as I watch how simple it is for others to live and move on,
yet life considers me the pins in a game of bowling.

Green chokes me with each passing day,
as life turns more and more sour.

Pink enfolds me in hope,
soft and sweet.

I'm shocked by orange once I'm reminded that nothing is so simple.

Indigo sweeps me under again,
and I feel like I'll never again see yellow.

Violet laughs at me as I struggle to pull myself back up.

I feel so yellow,
like nothing can bring me down.

Depression comes in all forms, and it can creep up on you. Its solution is nothing as simple as a night out, or a talk with friends.

Even surrounded by people, you can feel so alone and empty.

Eating can be difficult. Getting up in the mornings can be a chore. Finding a reason to be positive about the future can seem impossible.

Logically, everything passes.

Emotionally, you feel like a black hole.

Fear of judgement may keep you from confiding in others. It's so easy to let the emotions build and drown you; find a release.

You deserve the peace of mind and spirit.
