Depression

Excessive bloating
Shortness of breath, tingling
limbs and palor, with
Heavy-set eyes
and tired sighs

Insufficient qi
an orange sheen
meridians reversed
An inconsiderate mind
and frozen thighs

Every doctor he visits
comes cautionary tales
and fairweather reports
Pain strikes a chord
Unmeasured by metal rods

But no doctor can diagnose a broken heart
