No one Ever Said it was Easy

It's medical, one doctor said

The other says it's all in my head

From all that I've read

I'd be anywhere but here instead

I'll even take a week in bed

To not feel so dead

To not feel such dread

To have bright days ahead

My mind has all but fled

The pains so widespread

Can't you see, help my cries

I'm tired of living lies

It's not well or otherwise

Yes I get exercise

Yoga for calming wise

Just help me recognize

don't know how to emphasize

Can't there be a compromise

Depression needs to minimize
