Wouldn't Be Dead for Quids

This insightful book of poems and prose walks you through life before, during and after depression. It tells of the good years when everything seemed to go well. It tells of the depths of depression where there seems no way out, and it shows you that there is a light at the end of that dark tunnel that leads you to the rest of your life.



I know, I've been there - no hit or miss

I even enjoyed stepping into the abyss

But I failed in my mission - got found too soon

So I just got angry and planned my next move



But they put me in hospital under lock and key

And tried to help me but they just couldn't see

That I'd made my mind up to round that bend

And bring my misery to a final end



Then family and friends gathered from near and far

Some by plane and others by car

They never questioned the path I chose

They just let me know that they'd always be close
