HAVE WE MISSED THE SIGNS?

Sometimes, most people are too busy
To hear someone's cry for help.
They are so involved in their own lives--so
They miss the hearing the person asking for help.

Others don't want to get involved.
They don't want to listen to someone's
Pain and troubles--it will just depress them,
And they don't want that, it spoils their fun.

Other are at a loss of what to do.
So they stay clear of others problems.
They have their own troubles and
Are having to battle with them.

People are discussing depression
More now--with the celebrity suicides.
"They seemed fine, happy, a good life".
But somehow they missed the signs.

They say people should express their
Feelings when they're depressed, not
Keep them bottled up inside.  But with
The reasons listed above, they feel lost.

The sad fact is, people may listen,
But they don't HEAR.
So people say nothing to anyone
Out of fear.

Depression can't be solved by
Taking different types of drugs.
What helps most is for someone to
Listen and to feel that they are loved.
