A depressive environment

The curtains are closed on my house;

I don’t feel very well.

The doors are shut on my house;

I don’t feel like discussing things.

The dishes are undone in my house;

I haven’t sorted things out as yet.

But after I stop feeling depressed,

I’m ganna fling open the curtains,

Open up the doors,

And start eating again.
