Please be advised that this is my original work and that the Website: http://maisyaagatha.com/ has copied this entire work and not given any credit to the author of the work. I find it disturbing that someone would not mention an authors name to a work and not show a link over to it...while taking away all traffic to the original work. Please...if you like this "Manly" Poem...and the serious topic it is trying to address...Go to this person's website (from their link above) and protest against their actions for me...in the Reply to Comment section...to my poem...in their blog. I would appreciate it. I have replied to it twice, since discovering it yesterday (Dec. 12, 2011) and would appreciate your support! The posting of my poem is still up on this Website. Again, Your support with a reply would be appreciated. Thank you!

Dear maisyaagatha.com;
This is a formal request to your e-mail. You need to take down my original work posted on your webpage. The work you have posted is: "Depression Ain't Funny". I will start the process of informing DMCA, as my next step. You have posted something on your Website that is not yours and driven traffic away from the original site. This is wrong. Furthermore, you have not given any credit to the author for the work and you should also link over to it.
You look like a reasonable person on your website picture, yet you have refused my 2 previous requests in comments to my poem on your website. I am not the bad person here. I see you have a lot of positive Life messages across your Website. I have no doubt, based on my knowledge of what you have done, that these are not all original works. That is hypocricy in it's purest form: To state all these great things about Life...while using and getting credit for others works. You need to do some deep life experiantial learning and see how wrong it is to live with or take credit for others work. Also, putting "posted by" your name...does nothing to show the reader that this is not your own written work...if that is what you are thinking.
Please acknowledge and take down my Original "Manly" Poem from your Website, upon reading this. FYI: I have a paragraph devoted to you and the using of my original work on my profile page to all my works. There...everyone can read about how you are using my work, regardless of whether you have been given permission. In time, people will see the Truth of what you are really promoting on your Website.
Sincere Regards and Thank you in advance for complying,

Update: as of 1/18/12 @ 10;00 am (Texas time) the link to my Poem on her website is not going through. I plan to keep this up a little while longer, as yesterday the same link went down for a few hours and then was back connected today.
I would especially like to thank the approx. 60 people that commented on her Website about my Poem being on there without crediting the original author of the work. I am humbled by your support on this. For those of you who helped me with this...If you ever need help from Manly Poetry Man...Just holler!
"We all do got a stake in making this internet thang work out!" And together...all of us can work towards people using our work incorrectly. If we make a stand...then the people that copy other peoples work for their own benefit...will have no one supporting them.
Peace and God Bless! MPM...signing out!
To Those Who Know This Pain...
Depression Ain’t Funny…it is a type of sickness that takes its’ hold…
It can take away all your desires and emotions…making you feel empty and cold.
It can suck the life right out of you…till you don’t really know how it is you feel…
It teases with your normal thinking…Don’t play with it…It’s no joke…It’s very real.
Misery loves company…until depression wraps its’ bony fingers all around you…
Then…you just can’t shake the wanting to be alone in despair…no matter what you do.
The misery that you feel…and can’t escape…is compounded by wanting more…
Till you find yourself needing…wanting even more misery…More than the day before.
Can you cry now…try to signal your heart…No…you can’t even shed a tear…
Can you feel anything: Hope, Joy, Renewed Vigor…Love, Control over Fear?
No…You Can’t…Look At You...You Can’t Even Get Out of Bed…
Get up…Rise up…Go Watch a Sunrise…Hey, You Know What…You’re Not Dead!
I know it seems like the hardest thing in the world to have to do…
To walk back to the place…you left…way down deep inside of you.
But…Listen to Me…My friend…Please…I’m Telling You…You Must…
The Path You’re On is Only Made of Sinking Sand…Who Will You Trust?
Depression can eat you alive in a N.Y. minute…and look around for more to devour…
Now…is the time to do something about it…before it reaches to your final hour.
A prayer will help…but try to imagine…flipping a depression switch off in your mind…
Sound silly? But the image of that burned in your brain may save in the “nick” of time.
You may be so overwhelmed with this thing inside…that it feels like it won’t let go…
I tell you this…’Cause I have been there and know…Oh Lord, Yes…I know…
It danced around…and played its’ stupid game…and did so…for years in my life.
It made the worst of things seem terrible…and the stressful things filled with more strife.
It took me down…and I didn’t know it…Till one day I saw my smile in a reflection…
The smile inside my head…had the corners of my mouth...pointing in the wrong direction.
That is when I could truly see…
That something had a hold on me.
I had to do something…but to this dark depression…I was now addicted…
I suddenly knew that…Depression Ain’t Funny...once you’ve been afflicted.
I found that I was enjoying my misery…and couldn’t get enough…
I had no tears, nothing to find new joy in, no need to look ahead…or for love.
Now do you get this thing called Depression…It is serious enough to be treated…
When it is evident...that you have this thing…you need a plan to help defeat it.
Don’t think you will wake up one day…and this thing will suddenly disappear…
Some action is required of you…The time for your healing is very near.
I’m not trying to act like a “know-it-all”…this is just my style of poems, my friend…
If this is you and you want prayer…put it down in my comment section at this poem’s end.
The real reason I say what I just wrote…and try to tell you Depression is really bad…
Is I would not want anyone to think they had to always live with being real sad.
And for you not to make a mistake…and think your life would be better if it was over…
Trust me…There’s another side to life…You won’t see…If you’re covered over in clover.
Soon you can finally cry…real tears from your eye…and be healed with a single touch…
And smile a real smile again…at a new place to begin...with someone you love very much.
So this is all I wanted to say…before you let it go another day…
A new future for you will await...
And…it can be wonderful, my friend…It will be great!
Just don’t think you will find answers in trying to find ways for you to die…
Your heart is cold…And your anxious mind is hot…maybe you don’t even know why…
It will be alright in time…Hang on just a little while longer…Believe this…It is no lie…
Emotions not buried in grief…Lie ahead for you…Get past this…You Must Try!

Disturbia: Crank up the writing thing and pull up...Stay out of that Abyss! Your poetry is good from both perspectives: reading it and for the joy of writing it...where else...but poetry can you put down great words to "Hell hath no fury...like a woman scorned!"
Depression, how much is a medical issue, how much is self-aborbsion? I hear people tell others to "snap out of it". Thank you for sharing!
I'm one of those that tells myself to 'SNAP OUT OF IT" or "GET OVER IT" or "JUST SUCK IT UP" all the time. Sometimes it works. Sometimes not. When it doesn't I sit down and write. Over the years I've found it to be better than the numbness of medication or the psychobabble of therapy.
A much healthier outlet, Disturbia! Get all those voices in our heads, all the ideas running amok, down on paper. It's a great thing! (shut up, I told her, already.. yes I did, ok, what? move on to next, hub? ok,) dang voices.. sorry for the interuption!
Dear Ladies: Disturbia and Candie V...Sounds like you both have a healthy perspective to this thing called depression...Although Candie V seems to have had a comedic moment there...when we might otherwise have wondered...just who was going to win out with her voices? You both have an outlet in writing to focus on...and your both great writers...and poignant ones as well. So...I won't have to worry about ya'll being depressed! Thanks for the good comments...
I can relate with what your saying being there before myself
my favorite lines are
"Misery loves company…until depression wraps its’ bony fingers all around you…Then…you just can’t shake the wanting to be alone in despair…no matter what you do."
Being able to relate to this symptom...helps to understand it...a whole lot better. It is my hope that someone reading this poem...who may feel some of the things mentioned in it...will see that it needs to be fixed before it consumes them. Anyways...Thanks for commenting on this poem...Drew Breezzy.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. We've all been there at one time or another, some longer than others.. and it's nice to know others feel this pain of depression also.. somehow it helps to hear anothers view and yours is right on and well said. Keep on truckin!
Dear erin boote...Appreciate your comment! I was in this mode for way to long...if only I could have snapped out of it quicker...myself? Glad you enjoyed someone else's view on the matter.
Leonard Cohen once said "The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape." I just thought it was an interesting quote. And by the way, I really do hear voices in my head. Actually only one voice, my mother's. She's been talking to me for years.
Good Quote...Disturbia. UUUH...on the subject of voices in my head...all I know is they would have to take a number. My thoughts would get first priority. Hope your having good conversations with your Mom. First thing that comes to my mind when you mentioned this is a Mom's voice going..."Did you make your Bed?"
LOL, no she doesn't say things like that, probably because I always make the bed... it's part of my obsessive-compulsive personality. There are things I just ALWAYS do and that's one of them.
But I digress, back to mom, she seems to be with me, always. She's been haunting me for years. I not only hear her but I've seen her too, although I prefer to think its all dreams. I've never talked about it to anyone and only just recently mentioned it to my best friend. But, I've been thinking I might want to write a hub about it. Seems to me there was always something haunting about mom, insofar as, she saw and talked to "spirits" ever since she was a child. Up until I was a certain age, I just thought of it as "normal" and didn't everybody have conversations with their dead relatives? Then as I got older I thought maybe it was because she drank, but soon realized it was why she drank. Psychic or psychotic, she's gone now so I'll never know.
Wow...Disturbia...that is some interesting stuff....perhaps some kind of a psychic legacy exists through your mom...or even some of her same spirits have come to visit you/or your daughters. That topic would make for an interesting hub. Not sure about whether your mom could help you with it though...(Just to stay on the lighter side of things)!
You must be psychic yourself. One day my youngest just out of the clear blue at the breakfast table told me our house was haunted and she and her sister have been talking to this "lady ghost" ever since we moved in. You could have knocked me over with a feather. It frightened me so much I came close to having a panic attack. I get chills just thinking about it. Both the girls say there is a ghost in the house, but it's a friendly ghost and I shouldn't be afraid of it. Gosh, that's comforting... LOL! For years I tried to ignore it and brush it off as just their way of trying to get attention. But the story just never stops or goes away. Well, you never know, maybe its mom. ;-) For the record, I don't believe in ghosts.
I'm no psychic...but I believe there is such thing as a spirit dimension. That is why I stand ready to call out on the name of "Jesus" should something arise that don't exactly seem like something I have any control over. But, that's just me. Some folks would say that is crazy....but it gives me great strength in knowing this. I like the strength of knowing that something I don't understand completely can be dealt with on another level...that doesn't require me to do anything but believe. Disturbia...it is always good talking (writing) with you on these hubs. humbly...mpm
Wonderful hub. I have suffered depression a couple of times in my life, both times related to carrying burdens that I wasn't supposed to carry. First was my own sin and allowing the destructive consequences to "punish me" instead of receiving God's forgiveness. This was truly ~ a nightmare! Secondly, I was caring so much about something I couldn't handle the loss of it and had to watch it fall. God is our Lord and while sometimes we hate this life because of the evil we fight everyday (within and without) and the oppression of it, we MUST receive God's forgiveness and we MUST let go and let God. AMEN.
Carrie...Well Said...I like the way you stated that the depression you were burdened with was something you weren't supposed to carry. Agree with everything you said. Let Go and Let God! Amen.
information is vital love this hubs.
Good to know...Appreciate your comment on this, Darknlovely.
Seems you're not now or weren't in a depressive mode when you wrote this. Why? Because of the sheer volume of the poem! A depressed person would be patently unable to manage even half this many lines before needing to take a 12 hour nap. I would say LOL but there is nothing laughable about depression.
I like this poem a lot. MM
Well, Mighty Mom...the secret to being able to write this poem all the way through was...I took my 12 hour nap ahead of time! My own depression was healed with a healing touch...Thank God. And...really...your right...it is not a laughing matter...although a good bout of depression could use a round of laughter for healing purposes. What's the old saying: "Laughter is the Best Medicine!" Thank you for your comments...and for stopping by and reading this poem.
Great poem man, you really hit the big D with the right lines, hope you continue to smile back at the beast !
Not only "Smile" back at the beast...but kick it's "Arse" (English Translation) all the way around the front and back yard...then down the Street! Thanks for your comments on this: Bad Company (Cool name-BTW) Thanks for dropping by and visiting this "Manly Poetry" Hub...
thank you. thanks for writing about this very sensitive subject. thanks for understanding...and yes, you are right. misery loves company. sadly life doesn't always turn out in our favor. the hardest thing to do is accept and move forward. it's hard and before you know it, you are too consumed that you lose your very sanity...
thanglynn07: Depression is a sensitive subject...and it can be a very dark road...with a very bad ending if not treated or recognized. Like you said...it can consume you to a very terrible point. Thanks for your comment about me writing this one. This one was done in the hope that anyone who might be depressed might see and recognize some of the symptoms. (Like I eventually did...after it finally dawned on me that that's what it was!)
Great Poem! Every thing you said is just like it is. My best friend was depressed so badly that he committed suicide. I was trying to help him but there was nothing I could do. I came home one morning and found him dead. The demons in his head had won. All those voices he told me about finally took him.
Anyway, thanks for the poem and I am glad that you overcame your depression.
DJ: That is really terrible to know about your best friend. For this loss of someone important to you over this thing called "Depression"...I am also upset! It is aggravating to know that something-so strange-can have such a horrible grip on a person. What you experienced was Tragic...Sorry for your loss. Yes...It sounds like your friend was taken from us by this sickness...but there was nothing you could do...it was his personal battle! Ultimately...I believe...he is free of that battle...and Ultimately...He is in a better place!Thank you for your comment...and Yes...I personally kicked it's _ss! (But...only with a healing touch...or I wouldn't be here myself...if not for that!)
Wow, as someone who has been "battling" depression (and winning)since 1974, this was quite relatable. Yes, that is what it is, I was thinking as I started to read it and then Yes, you have to be pro-active because if you aren't, you can't win. It still sneaks up on me every now and again and I give it it's time and then I move on. How much it can take a hold on us, I think, is usully a result of how much we will allow it too. Thank you for sharing!
Moonchild60: Sounds like you get the fact that "Depression Ain't Funny"...You have learned first-hand that it can cause a world of internal problems within yourself...and that you have to be proactive to escape its bond on you once you have been afflicted. Glad to hear that you sent it packing...even though it sounds like it may return...just a little bit...from time to time. Don't even answer the door when it does...my friend...Life's too full of better things!
Wishing you the best of an Un-depressed life! MPM. (Thanks for your insightful comment on this poem.)
Very wonderful poetry, depression is not a laughing matter indeed.
hubpageswriter: Yes...It is something that can not be taken lightly. Many folks haven't quite figured depression out yet...whether it is real...whether they have it...etc. And with the way prescribed medicines are issued out to someone that is diagnosed with "depression"...I wonder if the medical community has a handle on "depression"...either.
That being said...for anyone that even thinks they may be afflicted with this thing: "Don’t play with it…It’s no joke…It’s very real." Go do something...anything proactive to treat it...before it gets the better of you...Please...That's all I'm saying! (This is an important topic...in my book!)
Thanks for your comment, hubpageswriter...You make a very valid point...Thanks for reading this Poem on "Depression". Humblest regards, MPM
My own battle with depression began when I was a child. Some of my earliest memories are of sitting by the window on dark, rainy days and feeling as if I were alone. Even my mom's gentle voice was drowned out by the voices telling me I was worthless, better off dead, useless, no one liked me, and so on.
I had friends but always wondered why they were friends; how could anyone like me?
I still battle this every day. I don't know what gets me from point A to point B. I have taken up hobbies but abandon them as I get past the first elation of doing something new. I notice my depression suffers worse for several months but then for a month or two I feel elated. Kind of a roller coaster effect.
When I sign "Cheers!", it is as much to make me remember to be happy as to wish others a great day.
Excellent hub, excellent poem.
Chef Jeff
Chef Jeff: Thank you for sharing this...seriously...it isn't easy to share, or understand, or get over the threshold...with depression. I am sorry to hear that this damn thing has a hold on you...!! I know what the best way to battle depression was for me...I would say that you need a healing touch, my friend...Mine came through much prayer and asking help from the Lord above...and it came in his time...not mine...but it was done in a matter of minutes (although...it likes to rear its' ugly head...from time to time). Hey...if I could speak from experience...and rather not like a "know-it-all"...(I could probably help you more than some Doc...who only wants to increase the strength of some pill!)...I would tell you, Chef Jeff...that you have to fix the underlying thinking/problem...otherwise...you are covering up a problem...not fixing it! (like putting Dry wall spackle...on a crack for a huge dam!) What is at the root of your thinking...? Do you grief..do you have unresolved hurt...a non-positive outlook...do you take everything serious...or personal...poor self-image or an over-inflated one...lack of confidence in your abilities...under/or over expectations of yourself...and/or others...do you feel unworthy...in any area of your life. Hey...I don't know you...and I hope none of these suggestions offend you...but I would hope that these suggestions help get you on your way to healing...from with-in the inside (from someone who was trapped in many of these "thinkings"). But...you have to take control...it sounds like you have dealt with this thing for awhile (also...consider that this could be a result of a physical ailment/chemical imbalance/ or in my case...I felt like it could be a heredity thing!) ...it could be growing with inside you! Stop it from growing...you deserve a better life! Like the Poem said..." I would not want anyone to think they had to always live with being real sad!" I hope this reply comment has been some form of hope to you, my friend...Now go out and kick this Depression's things Ass!
Pray, contemplate what your life will be like without this thing...and by all means...Go Forward! You will have your healing....soon...I know that for sure! Humbly and Sincerely, MPM
Oh, yes, it's hereditary - mom, grandparents, sister, brothers - we all have suffered with it. Even my dad, a man as strong as an oak tree, had it too.
I cope because of the prayers of family & friends, and by trying so hard to stay in good, positive friendships, writing down a lot of things to keep me on track, especially with fellowship, and of course I seek both professional and spiritual help, because no man is an island, even if he believes himself to be one.
Also, writing and getting things off my chest helps.
Thanks for the great words & inspiration! Do you ever think of publishing your peoms? I really believe they could be an inspiration to so many others. Seriously - seek out a publisher! Your poems are that good!
Cheers!
Chef Jeff
Chef Jeff: I like that part about "No Man is an Island"...Oh, and i get the whole...get it off your chest thing...that is a wise avenue to pursue, my friend. I have thought about publishing them...appreciate the compliment on them. I kind'a like how this particular one can get right to the "heart" of depression...with folks. I will definitly have to pursue publishing further...thanks!
(And Cheers!)
Great hub. Depression sucks. Unless you suffer from it, you can't understand how it can affect you. So many people think you can just "cheer up" or "snap out of it". I hate that! You need proffessional help, medication or both. It's a chemical imbalance in your brain. It's serious stuff. And I agree, it may be hereditary too. That's so tough.
lovelypaper: Depression does suck! Well said...with that! You can't just "cheer-up" or "snap out of it"...I agree...Depression is "no joke"...it is very real (I think Doctors have it wrong too by the way they over-prescibe medicines to treat it). If you got this thing...and it is becoming apparent ...Get it treated...It is vicious (period). [and think about this....if your thoughts are stuck in a deep depressed-mode...does it make sense to pile on all kinds of medicine...that alters your thinking...even more...that's just common sense...go easy on the prescriptions...is all I'm saying...you got have some work done on the original problem...the thought patterns!] Sorry to go-off on depression...a liitle bit while replying to your comment, lovelypeaper...but there is all kinds of crazy thinking going on surrounding "Depression"...Sounds like you have some real understanding of it....I agree with you on all of it. Thank you for your comments...and for reading this one on "Depression". Humblest regards, MPM
Nice work Manly ... :-)
Thank you, De Greek
Sometimes you have no choice but to suck it up. You have people who depend on you and sometimes I feel that if I give in to being depressed to much then I am the selfish one. There are people who depend on me and that's what keeps me going even though I am depressed.
copingdepression: Having been through all things I mention above...I can sympathisize with what you say. It played stupid games in my life...until I realized that being miserable had consumed me. A time I thought I was smiling...I looked at my reflection...and it was a frown. So, what I lack in expertise on this topic...I lived out in my life. With that said I would caution you to take some plan to turn it around...even if it is a slow process. What must happen...is that it doesn't win!
Whether you receive healing or some type of good expert help, or take positive steps to beat the depression (that you know are succeeding). Be careful...it is sneaky and will return. You don't have to live in depression...it is not God's will for people not to live a fulfilling life. I will pray for your healing. It will go away if you can manage to let it not consume you. Easy to say...Hard to do! There are still Sunrises...Kids Laughing...Dogs that smile when you pet them...Good meals...Great Places to see...Friends and Family that care enough to surely not want to see you wind up...DEAD. Things may appear overwhelming...I'm not sure how deep the depression may have a hold on you. But...this I can say as an expert...You need to find the joy and emotional control with in your inner deep feelings for yourself.
In other words...Enjoy your own self...Enjoy your own life...Experience your own emotions for yourself...whether your afraid to grieve, laugh, cry, scream, or laugh at the world...with all you got. Something is tied to your deep emotions...and living and behaving as others want or expect...is not going to liberate you from the things you need to help your own personal life.
I am not saying that you should be selfish to take care of your own needs only. But...I am saying that perhaps you have unintentionally by-passed something down deep inside of you...that needs healing, or to be repaired...to let you be free to love life again. Emotions, Grief, Suffering, Laughter, Crying, Frustration, Stress, Guilt, Fear, Isolation, Anguish, Selfishness, Caring/Compassion, Uncaring, Hurt, Strength, Joy...or whatever can be buried in your own person...and may not be free to run its course due to the depression overpowering you. Human beings were meant to run the gamut of all these internal emotions...Depression suppresses these Emotions...and complicates things even further. This much I know...first hand! May God Be With You on Your Healing Journey...Please start it today...before it consumes another minute!
"Soon you can finally cry…real tears from your eye…and be healed with a single touch…
And smile a real smile again…at a new place to begin...with someone you love very much.
So this is all I wanted to say…before you let it go another day…
A new future for you will await…and it can be wonderful, my friend…It will be great!"
I promise you...You can get to that place! (Even though nothing in this life...is a "Spring-Picnic") Peace
Writing helps me to deal with it when I feel consumed by the heavy emotions, it seems that this piece has struck a chord with many and I wish you all the best.
Zac828: Writing is also very therapeutic for myself...and helps me to alleviate the heavy emotions...as well. Good point! 'Tis true...and very well said. Juz' wish I'd have started writing more seriously back when I was at the height of my own personal depression period...Would'a done a world of good for me...I'm sure! Oh well...live and learn...they always say. I also wish you the best...humble regards, signed, MPM
accurate, complete and beautiful!

quester: Thank you for reading it...and I appreciate your comment points...on it, also. Humblest Regards from, MPM
You don't know why you are so sad and mad
You go up and down like in a sea-saw
Mind says it's all over, no point at all
Except to say "Good Bye!" to all.
Every dream you dreamnt has destroyed
Why people think of you,you wonder why
Happy thoughts seems so far away
Angel of death is waiting for you to enter from the gate.
There's only one thing that makes me happy
The name of Jesus Christ gives me freedom
To pass the hour of pain and loss
Jesus fills my heart with peace and love :)
Meditation and medication soothe your mind
It's a blessing to have love all around
Just remember, you are special and valuable
You live for a reason and you are lovable :)
rdsparrowriter: Thank you for commenting with your poem on "Depression". Your Poem is pretty deep with "Angel of Death waiting you to enter from the gate". Sounds like you know where to go to have help though, Jesus Christ will give you freedom! I appreciate you leaving this poem here in the comment section...and for reading my poem about: "Depression Ain't Funny". Blessings and Humble Regards, signed, MPM
Hi MPM, glad to know you liked it. I hope you won't mind me doing a hub out of the comment I did, and adding this hub link into my hub. My mom said your hub is really good :) God bless You!
rdsparrowwriter: Hi...I saw your new Hub (from the comment above). Glad you posted it as a Hub. It is a very good poem that deserves its own Hub billing! Thanks for the link back to this one...and for letting me know about it. Good Fortune with all your of Hubs, MPM
Im glad for google and your encouragement....i have had the worst day and needed to know im not alone. Depression sucks the life out of me. I need Gods touch so bad. I wanted to disappear today but lacked the energy and i cant run away from myself. To love and be loved is so difficult for me. Love seems so elusive. Its hard to keep giving from an empty cistern. Someday i will be able to cry...heal...and let go of my pain. I will keep putting one foot in front of the other and trust that God will make all things right as i surrender to His will.
It's a pleasure MPM :) But I don't get paid for the hubs. I tried it, but I thought to have fun instead.
sadsassy: No you are not alone...Depression sucks the life out of anyone! Be very careful with it...and then go kick the its butt! You will have God's Touch...of this I have no doubt...and it will be in a single instant...when you least expect it...yet it will come...by his timing! Be strong for that day! I also have no doubt that it will come very soon...and that you are trusting the right source with which you will be renewed in healing! Blessings and Strength to you in your battle...It won't be long now before you put that thing called: "Depression" in its place...(which will be far away from you)!

I understand what you are saying. Life can sometimes be a bumpy ride. Writing poetry has kept me from falling into the abyss.
