I'm Content

When I told some one that I get depressed

I was told that it wasn't abnormal,

for my age.

I was asked if I had feelings or had thought of

suicide.

I told them No.

Is this so usual for a person

who gets depressed?

I'm content.

What else could I want?

I accepted christ and was baptized,

I have a family who loves me,

a best friend who might as well be my sister,

a boyfriend who loves me for me.

I have a place to sleep, food to eat,

a roof over my head.

What more could I want?

What more could I need?

I'm quite content.

So why is my not having such,

self-destructing thoughts, abnormal?

I'm content, and happy.

I'm thankful for what I have.

Why shouldn't I?

But at times I still worry,

I still feel sad for no appeant reason, but

Should I have suicidal thoughts?

Should I feel less content?

Why?
