The Storms in My Mind
I have to get rid
It has to be today
As the sun shines
to remind me
that better days will be
I have to get rid of the storms in my mind
the violent winds of yesteryear
beat against the memories
I try to keep safe
I have to get rid of the storms in my mind
the winds scatter hopelessly
to cleanse the thoughts that torment us
the most
but I am still their host
I have to get rid of the storms in my mind
and it has to be today
when the rainbow zipped through the sky
(Oh my!)
to remind me
love cures all.
I have to get rid of the storms in my mind
It has to be today
It has to be today
I want to dedicate this poem to the many young people who suffer from depression. I met someone recently who impressed me so much but the storms in her mind are too strong. Depression is very present in our nation. Learn to recognize the signs.

Thank you. Each of us has a storm to deal with every so often. What saddens me is that so many cannot cope and sometimes suffer silently and hopelessly with depression. Thanks again.
