DEPRESSION:A Poem About DEPRESSION by WordSayer: 3:36am On Dec 29, 2018 |
DEPRESSION after a prolonged war with life, for the first few moments, we become sullen and then lonely, until our spirits become pale and void. the light departs our soul and living becomes as purulent and desolate as a necrotic wound. the theory of depression is dark. we get drunk to drown the pain or smoke pipes to vaporize the demons or crack jokes to make others laugh or smile widest when the cameraman says "cheese!" the demands of depression are hard. you either hear the gun telling you to pull the trigger or the rope asking you to swing from its noose or the sea enticing you to take a deep dive down the blue aisle or the voice of gravity pleading with you to jump down from the window of the eighth floor from a 30-storey building. we must not blame those that kill themselves. the soul wants to be free at all cost. but we also must not listen to death. it offers uncertainties and assumptions. and agony. for the dead and the dying. no one is living. we all are dying. ...
