Clear the Smoke of Depression

A happy thought might clear your depression

Clear the Smoke of Depression

 

Sometimes it seems so opaque

A dusty midst of dark grey smoke

Hanging in the air suspended

Coughing until you hurt and choke

 

As you search for answers

Not knowing why life is just so

And equate all your depressions

As that dusty smoke flows

 

Trying to wave your hand

To clear the bizarre air

Realize it s not physical

It requires mental repair

 

So just for today you decide

To take a different approach

You wonder back to a child memory

Cinderella riding in her pumpkin coach

 

Thinking of your Higher Power

Feeling the depressions that smother

Under the twinkling star lights

Your Higher Power becomes the Fairy Godmother

 

She tells you if you wish

With all you strength and might

If you follow some simple rules

Your fantasy will hold tight

 

As you rock in your chair

A funny smile comes to your face

Imagine you with a prince

No shame, no guilt, no disgrace

 

 Suddenly the sun comes up

And shines a halo above your head

Now this day is suddenly filled

With happiness, love, and flowers abed

 

All it takes is a simple clear thought

A moment to cherish your beauty within

And you can feel happy for once

Have it all without cheating or sin

 

You are special just as you are

We were all born innocent and pure

Life takes some unusual turns

Your “real” life becomes the allure

 

CLEAR THAT SMOKE AND STAY BEAUTIFUL JUST AS YOU ARE!
