Pain politely pushes

People past pathetic

Pitiful prisms.

Pills placate pleasantly

Perfect pipe dreams

Pumping paralyzed

PANIC.

Persistent prolonged

Paranoid peril

Poaches peaceโ€™s

Purity.

Potholes perilously

Punish pleasant

Plans.

Personal prisons

Painfully promise

Purgatory.

Persistent powerless

Plights parade

Painful problems.

Poisonous persuasions

Pillage personal

Partnerships.

Pain prolongs pain.

Personal penance

Partakes perplexed

Pitfalls.

People painstakingly part.

~

Please provide

Persistent prevailing

Patience.

~

Depression affects 280 million people worldwide. While treatment plans do exist there is no cure.

    So heartfelt. Iโ€™m so glad you put this topic under the microscope. Great work!

  • My father-in-law used to call them his "happy pills". He didn't suffer from depression until after he had a massive stroke & could no longer do the things he loved. For me, this has been my life. The picture you used is what I attempt to do every day so that no one needs to suffer with me. "Pain politely pushes People past pathetic Pitiful prisms," is where I find myself now, struggling to keep the pitiful prism in place. "Personal prisons", "Purgatory", "powerless", "People painstakingly part." Striking straight to the heart of the matter. "Patience". What so many have shown, more than what seems reasonable. It's hard to smile, though people still cause me to do it. Thanks for writing this. Though sadness is writ large upon my face, you have touched my heart.
