Dear Depression:

Have several seats...

All you do is pollute & funk up the atmosphere with your web of lies & treacherous vibes... As you greedily & mercilessly suck the life out of the best & the brightest like a heartless vampire on holiday at the blood bank, with no concern for the carnage that you continually leave behind...

*

Once you're done feeding... You wrangle your prey into your quicksand of despair... by injecting them with an overwhelming amount of nearly unbearable fatigue, burrito-wrapped in melancholy... as you sadistically forcefeed them candy-coated M & M's of hopelessness for breakfast, lunch, & dinner with a smile...

*

But today, my foe..

The tide has turned....

For, your day of Reckoning is upon you...

*

Remember...

The Almighty is more powerful than you...

*

And I want you to know that I just discovered a special antidote from above that will send you back to Hades where you belong...

*

All a clinically depressed person must do is ingest:

**50 cc's of NEVER EVER GIVE UP/ NEVER GIVE IN

as well as

**50 cc 's of RELENTLESS HOPE

Then, pair them with the internal belief that "My Creator will see me through until I find relief" and you will fold like a cheap lawn chair from a yard sale.

*

At that point, those precious souls directly affected by your fiery wrath will finally have the chance to dance in victory as the local Pastor reads them your eulogy.

And what a glorious day that will be...

Sincerely,

Someone who cares
