depressed is not an adjective

depressed is not an adjective 

like beautiful or funny or intelligent,

it is not a compliment

or a feeling that fluctuates.

 

depressed is not an adjective 

to use lightly as a way to say

you are temporarily upset by an inconvenience

because something didn’t go your way.

 

depressed is not an adjective

to throw around like stones on a river,

like a frisbee playing catch with a puppy,

like words without meanings.
