Depression 1

Poem 1


It just washed over me like a black curtain

I am confused and feeling uncertain

I was laughing just a minute ago but now I feel 10 feet below

I need to be alone, curl up in a ball

I need to forget about it all

Tears are now falling out of control.

Here I go again down the black hole

Why can't I shake this why is this happening?

My understanding is slackening

I try to accept our new normal but fall short

Many times my walls are up like a fort.

This is not easy when uncertainty is at hand

Is this really God's plan?
