I CAN TELL U ABOUT THE HOLE,
DEPPRESSION IS SO BAD.
SOME TIMES WE DONT GET OUT OF BED,
WHAT FOR EVERYTHING MAKES US SAD.
SOMETIMES WE CLOSE OUR BLINDS,
AND STAY AT HOME INSTED.
WE NEVER ANSWER OUR PHONES,
JUST SNUGGLE IN OUR BEDS.
OUR MIND AND BODY WONT LET US MOVE,
BUT IN OUR HEARTS WERE SAD.
BUT THIS HOLE IM NOW OUT OF,
ILL TELL YOU HOW AND YOU WILL BE GLAD.
YOU WONT FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING,
OR PROBLY WONT LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY.
BUT BELEIVE ME IF YOU DO ,
YOU CHANGE SLOWLY DAY BY DAY.
I HAVE THIS CLUMP OF DIRT ,
THAT IN THE FRONT YARD I SITE.
IT LOOK SO DULL AND SADDEN ,
I WILL MAKE THIS DULLNESS BRIGHT.
I GO OUT THERE JUST FOR TODAY,
AND TURN THE SOIL OVER.
PULL OUT ALL THE WEEDS,
NOW THE DAY IS OVER.
NEXT MORNING I OPEN MY CURTIANS,
AND I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT.
BUT MY DIRT PATCH NEEDS A LITTLE SOMETHING,
SOMTHING TO MAKE IT BRIGHT.
TODAY ILL GET SOME FLOWERS,
OF WICH I GET TO CHOOSE.
AS LONG AS THERE BRIGGHT AND HAPPY,
MY DIRT PATCH CAN NOT LOOSE.
I PUT THE FLOWERS INTO THE GARDEN,
ITS NEARLY END IF DAY.
I WATER THEN AND GO INSIDE,
WAIT UNTILL THE NEXT DAY.
I OPEN UP MY CURTIAN,
THE SUN....I SEE A BLINDING LIGHT.
BUT BEHOLD .................MY DIRT PATCH!!!!!,
IT LOOK LOVELY AND BRIGHT.
A TINY PART IN SIDE MYSELF,
FEELS NO LONGER HURT.
JUST TO SEE WHAT IVE OCCOMPLISHED,
FROM STARTING WITH SADDEN DIRT.
SO NOW I THINK OF TOMORROW,
ONLY ONE THING AT A TIME.
SLOWLEY I KNOW I CAN CHANGE THINGS,
AND ALL THE DAYS BECOME MINE.
(IF YOU READ INSIDE THIS POEM THE DIRT PATCH WAS JUST AS DEPRESSED
BUT NOW ITS BLOOMING BEAUTIFULY I KNOW YOU CAN DO ALL THE REST),

Well, I think it is fantastic. I am glad it is working for you. It is kind of like one step further each day. I like that concept. If you can do it on your own without medication, great. Most of the time, we just need a real reason. Something that will get the serotonin flowing through our brain again. Magnificent idea. Great write.
