Some days
Just the thought of breathing is too much
The only thought that keeps me going is
“Just keep breathing”
Every breath is a struggle
Accompanied by feelings of shame, guilt and worthlessness
Things I should have done,
Could have done,
Would have done
Remain undone.
The list grows longer
The load grows heavier.
Thoughts become taunts,
Tearing away at any desire
Immobilized
Fading from existence
Until darkness descends
And everything seems to stop.
Time could seem like stopping
maybe
cause you’ve raised the awareness
every breath feels like a struggle
maybe
cause you have a lot of tenderness
Which is great!
It means
you connect with people in a real way.
Having little energy
is how the load get heavier
and things get undone
you could feel
like moving boulders
or lifting a big stone.
This situation you must scan
think, learn, strategize
and develop a new plan
with resilience, and support
it gets easier in a short time span
when darkness descends
you will find the light
I believe you really can.
Thank you.
Relatable, unfortunately. Depression is the beast that keeps eating you into eternity.
Thanks for stopping by.
