Deep Thoughts: Depression and Hardship

Being a child or teen’s never easy.
Your mind is beset with struggles and queasy.
The bullies are rough and such a great hardship.
You need peace of mind on this screen as a blip! 

To kids, there’s no powerful, Almighty God.
You hear all the chatter and simply just nod.
All those assignments, and school is a source
Of endless disdain as the brain runs its course! 

A shy introspection and stretched innocence
Must somehow endure the most strained cognizance.
The future’s not brightest, complete with a cast
Of familial members whose aid has to last.

Here’s the reality, most everyone went through this;
All the world’s richest, well-to-do, feeling bliss…
This standard main course, the suicidal thinking,
Is almost as normal as breathing and blinking…

My recommendations - be safe, be kind, and be patient.
That slight swathe, that irony, each day, is a quadrant.
Most kids are simply just minding their business,
Are nice, have some friends, have a certain, fresh coolness.

Like all humankind, keep your head on a swivel.
Lots of nice teachers and folks aren’t the devil.
You don’t need religion to be a success -
Only God wants to help you - just be great, and just guess…

Patience is hard, but you’ll always pull through.
Luck is a factor - you’re long overdue.
If God thinks you love Him, He’ll be at your side.
Watching your back and your struggling pride…

If you look for Him now, you’ll find His connection.
The Almighty God has to yield His inspection.
The One offers utmost protection through grace.
His mercy is humbling, for each hand, an ace!

Remember one thing, your safety’s important.
Both His Son and you may face death, be extant.
If life’s trending mean, in an awful direction,
The losing of innocence is a globe-like correction…

The bread in the oven must rise - yeast and dough.
Youth and the best middle-age, high and low!
Most kids are nice, almost all come out even.
The globe’s not the greatest preamble we’re weavin’…
