Depression is like a well;
The deeper you fall, the darker it gets,
And the less likely you are to get out of it.
But sometimes there’s a light at the top of the tunnel.
And sometimes it makes you think “If I could just get out of this well,
Up to that light,
Everything would be better.”
And sometimes you start to climb.
And sometimes you make it.
