Soul is the ocean,
An ocean of deep greens and blues, streaked in gray.

Happiness is the sun,
Which warms the ocean and keeps it aglow.

Depression is the clouds,
Which sometimes block out the sun's warming rays.

For some, the clouds almost never hide the sun;
For others, the cloud coverage is nearly constant;
These ones fight chronic depression.

And for others still, the clouds race across the sky quite quickly,
Alternating between blocking the sun and allowing it to shine;
These ones are what we call "bipolar".

I refuse to allow the sun to be obscured by the clouds any longer.
I will fight the darkness, and someday remain in the light.
