Word of mouth sells coffee

That you have lived life ahead of me
Does me not the good you think
Because the longing in your eyes
Are not from wanting to explore me

The excitement in your voice is not from re-visiting me after a while apart
You are hard pressed to even acknowledge a new outfit
Or better yet a recent trip to the salon

Always jumpy and ill at ease
Your eyes darting around
Like a reporter in a war-torn, third world country

I realize I am not the exotic woman you thought you'd end up with
A dream of your youth which the 9-5 cliché robbed you of

So don't two time with your dream
Go, follow her
She is a cruel mistress your heart
And she wants what she wants

I too am better off
Because every hug you wrap me in
Is an ode to trips untravelled.

Depression

I learned that God cures depression.
One common symptom of depression is lethargy;  the inability ot unwillingness to do things.
This could range from regular everyday activities to things that could make or break us for example coursework, dissertation, deadlines and tasks given at work.
Wr see it as tiredness and sometimes we may not even be aware that we are depressed, but God has revealed it to me

I used to be depressed,  a whole lot and it almost cost me my degree but thanks be to God, who daily loads us with good things.
To conclude, God cures depression clearly established in Nehemiah 8:10, the Joy of the Lord is your strength. So receive God's strength today and triumph over depression.
And most importantly: NEVER LOSE YOUR FAITH'
It does get better: I am a living example.
