stay away . . .
do not intrude . . .
my heart is light with joy . . .
floating free like air . . .
are you the fear creeping . . .
or the pain demanding to invade . . .
whoever you are, you are . . .
unwelcome . . .
you are not going to cripple . . .
or attack the nature of my heart . . .
I refuse to adapt . . .
I will not conform . . .
depression has no place . . .
no place, uninvited . . .
no crashing . . .
I need something to dry these tears . . .
the ones blossoming into smiles . . .

“You have no power of me” Great poem Kim
Thanks Al.

Remembering who is at the wheel is a good thing. 🙂
Sometimes I tend to take a wrong turn but always try to get back on track.
That’s the spirit. 🙂

Just love the armor of the heart…these days it is indeed needed.
Just as long as it’s not unpenetrable. You never know what jewel might sprout up. 🙂
Brilliant Kim… Keep up those words to shield you .. There is no place for depression.. Full stop!
That depression is a sneaky emotion I need to stay ever vigilant. thanks for your kind words.
Kim, I like this very much. We have the power to influence how our day goes. We can say let’s make it a great day or say I hate going to work. Thanks, Keith
I’ve fought depression for many years. I just learned that I have the power to keep it away. I’m glad you like.
