| Poem: |
Deep mysterious draining depression, it creeps up behind you, envelops you without warning. No reason, just because suddenly I cannot bear to rise. The thought of joining the world, today, it is too much, but I must. Oh they groan, she's sad again. I try on my different masks, perfect mother, perfect wife but the fear still rises bubbling just beneath the surface. Please don't cry, try not cry, just get through the day, hang on as best as I can, it will soon lift and I may smile again.... |
