and i write about depression one last time

in-real-lifers!

the rite-aid
techs know my name
and automatically pull my prescription
when they see me
i zoom through
electronic check-out like a pro
yeah.
medication.
for depression.
for years.
and at first
i felt
embarrassed
and
less-than
but
i began to feel well
and
i was able to give
and
i returned to prayer
and
i found god's kendal again
so for now
i have medication on my shelf
and
this is god,
who will himself restore me
and make me strong, firm and steadfast

where do you see god in the places people don't usually look?
