Summary:
depression
in tempo with my sadness I keen
holding close to my feelings unless they slip free
into the void where I am left with nothing

solace need, just to feel
within me I am grey
my emotions laced with the agony of forgetfulness

I'm losing who I am again
the painful part I'm aware enough to know it
I've withdrawn into my quiet space where no one is allowed
not out of choice but necessity

there I'm calm as I watch the world go by not needing me
I've no complaint I won't ask people to stay
there are better places to be. i'm sure

inside my sulk is moodiness
if I could only leave it behind
and become indifferent

touching my scars I realize they are still tender
anger flairs in me and I feel guilty
reeling it in I flatline

rage flairs I keep it in
realizing its just love loss
no tears will I show

the dark is my covering
the stillness of being will have to suffice
people an inconvience my heart can't afford

    1. Well said, Brenda. Who can’t relate at some point in their lives, to this. You did so articulately. I myself was in a funk for a bit the past few weeks, but it has passed and hopefully I can be more positive/productive!

      • thank you dearest Styxian it’s just a sadness that everything has gone silent inside me and I’m not used to it…everything seems like it is covered with grey I don’t know why…I appreciate your presence deeply and I’m happy yours has ended ❤️
