As far as I can tell <br />I’m the last guy I know <br />who worked through <br />his suicidal depression <br />instead of nuking it <br />with pharma. <br /> <br />It was a gamble: <br />I mean, the depression <br />coulda got me <br />before I <br />nailed it. <br />And maybe it got me anyhow <br />-it sure as hell ate <br />most of my life. <br /> <br />So what did I gain <br />by wrestling with the blues <br />instead of washing ‘em away? <br />Let’s just say <br />next time I'm blue <br />I don’t have to <br />won’t have to <br />pay <br />for a prescription. <br />I carry my blues tools <br />with me.<br /><br />Percy Dovetonsils<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/everybody-else-took-the-shortcut/
