Depression

Depression can be debilitatingly blinding.  It can make you feel like you are separated from the rest of the world, and completely alone in life even while in the presence of others.  It can also be paralyzing and prevent you from engaging in life’s miraculous wonders.  However, with proper treatment and unwavering determination, you can move past depression and re-engage with social interactions and life itself.  You are not alone.  You are never alone.

The cloudy, moonless sky
cloaked the earth in darkness
mirroring the misty, ebony hole
of my mind, my heart, and my soul.

The stabbing of my spirit
so desperate for the light
cried out in the darkness,
cried out in the night.
