Major Depression and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

I lack energy
I am trapped in lethargy

I feel morose
I stare out the windows

I long to be free
From this constant misery

I feel down in the dumps
Mental illness isn’t for chumps

I want to run and play
Perhaps I will someday

My brain chemistry is out of whack
Don’t give me any flak

For now, I lie in bed all day
I have nothing more to say
