Being a salesman and an actor were not that dissimilar: It is a good lesson in covering up your feelings. No one wants to buy from someone who looks depressed.

The Chase (Thank you, Carol Rhodes)

Depression chases after
As I run ahead
Away from the blues

As fast as my running shoes
Will take me
Around the corner
Down the road I fly

With the wind behind
And no hills to climb
Depression chases after
Depression chases after
And catches me

CAROL HUGHES

The Beauty That Resides In Sadness

it is with great sadness that
i write
you a letter,
everything in it is all about sadness
it is not just about us
or you,
it is about the whole massive humanity
that is never drowned
with sadness but struggles in that ocean
of choices and so alone
amidst the
storms and the
other survivors

it is with great sadness that we gather here
and begin to hear
the sounds of all these forms and shapes and
colors of
sadness

Sadness Is Sadness

Sadness is Sadness
Suffering- Suffering
Silence-Silence
Life- Life
Darkness- Darkness
Death -Death.

All we are
A Dream
A Nothing
A Sadness,
A Suffering
A Silence
A Life
A Darkness
A Death
A Sadness.

Depression

They give you a pill for your depression

They say, 'It will soon go away'

They tell you it's a defect in your expression

It comes and goes like passing days

They tell you not to think in colour

'Try monochrome, or shades of grey'

They tell you not dream or think too deep

Or imagine living on a better stage

They give you a word for your depression

Just is

We watch people and it makes us sad
and we hear stories and they make us sad
and we become stories and that makes us sadder
and we pity ourselves for being inconsolable and non-comprehendable
The world watches us with a sympathetic eye and it makes them sad
A bunch of sad people making sad people
Where did it begin, and when will it end?

Depression Is

Depression. depression is the the ultimate denial.
It's the tear that I cry when I'm alone.
Not knowing who to turn to, where to look, what to do.
The blood that I bleed and the blade that I use.
Depression has it's many forms,
It's the greatest trap my life's ever known.

At the top of the cycle you write policies for everybody, no matter how bad, and at the bottom you cancel everybody, no matter how good. It's a manic-depressive cycle.

The Sadness Of These Deaths

THE SADNESS OF THESE DEATHS

The sadness of these deaths
These are not my deaths
But they are deaths
The sadness of these deaths
Oh God What is this world for
All these people gone
The sadness of these deaths

When I'm depressed and I feel low thinking that good movies are not made any more, then I put on his movies and I watch them. I laugh and I cry and I have great pleasure.

The Unhappy Soul

the unhappy soul
waits upon those with broken hearts
on the corridors of jealousy
and without mercy
ambushes those caught
unaware by her own wiles

in misery she takes you in
and taking revenge for what happened
once to her
the roots of her unhappiness taking
the depth of darkness
the hollow recesses of
her own madness

she leads you to the whirlpools
of sorrow sucking you in
until you cease to breathe
and lost to the bottom
of another madness
