Disheartened D

Dread, Disease, Disgust, and Death,
Demons with their fetid breath.
Divorce, Despair, or Debts accrued,
Demoralizing news reviewed.
A rose still sweet by any name
reminds me that I shouldn't blame
Dysfunction Drama on poor D, but Damnation!
Out of all the possible variations,
such a vast menagerie of Dismal Denotations so begin! 
Decrepit letter D can never seem to win.
But wait! Delicious pauses 
in Delightful causes and clauses
provides hope for Disillusionment 
or Disobediences, Disciplined.
There's no Denying D can be a Downer, but frame of mind, I see
more than any letters, even D, 
Depends quite completely....just on me.
