Depression and how it feels.

Deep inside it’s dark
No light do I see
My mind is like an engine
Shut down, protecting me
The bedclothes are my armour
My tongue a mighty sword
All things, though small, a drama
Affection, contact, and emotions I can ill afford
Daily chores are mountains
Many do I climb
My loved ones are mystified
As I allow depression to do it’s time

    Very true depression is alive and well. And your poem tells the exact feeling that a person has while in a depression. This is a great poem, I am going to stumble it for you.

    How well put, depression can be debilitating for some. It’s good to recognize these feelings and figure someway, if possible, to get back up and going. Thanks for an important article!
