Suddenly, I was sad. I did not have any reason for it. It was at that point I went out of my room, it was dark all around. I lay with my eyes open gazing the stars. Some thoughts crossed my mind and I immediatly wrote it down on my cellphone notepad.

As sadness fills my heart…….

As sadness fills my mind and soul,
I don’t know what to think of,
My world has virtually come to an end.
I can, feel the sadness in my heart,
Pulling me down with lots of weight,
I go out of my house, to be with myself.
In the darkness as I sit alone,
The full moon shining upon me.
The crickets chirping, owls hooting,
A small breeze swept across my face,
I saw garden plants swaying in the breeze,
A thought passed through my mind.
If plants can stand lonely through the night,
If these crickets can stay in the cold,
Why can’t I pass this sadness with a smile,
And wait for the sun to rise.
Yes, I can rise above, and gather myself together.
Hence I rose from the darkness and cold,
And walked into my house of light and warmth.
Thank god,I have a very good life
To live for long with happiness ahead.

Depression is a problem which many young adults face, especially males. There is no reason for it. Suddenly the heart feels heavy. Teens and adults in their twenties are more prone to depression.

During depression a person thinks:”Why should I live?” ,There is no hope for me. etc.

This is a dangerous situation, some people may end their life during this stage of depression. So it is very important, to have a close watch on teenagers especially when they refuse to be in public, remain silent for long times, seems lost in thought etc. Reassurance from parents is the most important part. Never allow the child to sit alone, talk , motivate. Antidepressant medications can be used if the condition is severe, with prescription from a doctor.

As about my part, I was lost in thought for some time, suddenly I was woken up by a bird cry. I listened intently and heard crickets, I could feel the soft wind blowing across my face. Suddenly my dark interiors lightened up, became filled with sunshine and brightness. I was so fortunate have a house of my own and parents to look after me when I was a child. There was nothing, to be desperate about!

So I went into my house, lives happily till now.
