Not my current state of mind; just releasing the Muse ...
Sleep comes hard. Difficult to get motivat'd when one day is the same as yesterday's was, as last month's, last year's, with n o t h i n g to show for them, except pain. Fill 'whys' with excuses to do it later, but later gets later and later each day. It never comes. It hurts too much too move; it will be here tomorrow ... I'll get to it. Sometime.
|Karla, Randel took the words right out of my mouth, keep busy, push and you will feel much better for it. Smile for brighter days are ahead. Thank you for sharing.
Perhaps a friendly arm around your shoulders can give the deflated emotional balloon enough air to bulge out proud again.
Depression some time don't need a prozac, just a good friend around.

It is easy to say do tomorrow what you can do today, but that leads to disaster occasionally. So we have to fight it. Victor

Karla, you captured depression well in this poem.
I almost cried...lol
Just kidding!
I have been depressed more times than I can count
and God was there each time to cheer me up.
Remember, don't put off until tomorrow what... In my youth I was terrible because I procrastinated so much. One day in middle age, I said no more procrastination (as regards jobs, work, etc.)! We must get things done! Here in our beautiful country we take so much for granted. I live abroad where for many people a day's meal is a challenge! Sad, but true. Cheer up. Keep active. Keep writing!!!
This is painful for me to read for this is often how I feel since my disabilities forced me out of a job I had for 25 years to sit at home alone. Add on a whole bunch of unexpected financial burdens and the health problems itself and yea depression is never far away.
Wonderful empathy here, Karla. Reminds me of me about half an hour ago!! :)) ... Like gently rocking your tyres back and forth when stuck in a snowdrift, just keeping putting one foot in front of the other and, at some future time, sooner or later, you will get over the hump and climb out of the ravine... just carryin on the Muse, here... Intuitive understanding displayed in your lines. TY Kate xx

Great take on Depression and glad it's just your muse, Karla ... hugs
Yup. Almost got me down.
But there is alwas a horizon offering an insight into a happier day.
But if that's not seen, depression is universal so no one should suffers alone.

I like your poem because it certainly expresses days for me that are like that---and likely many other folks as well. Some days are just plain blah, but lo and behold, tomorrow is always brighter.
Glad you aren't depressed, but you have captured the darkness of depression very well in this poem! Very well done; brava, Karla~! Keep up the great writing; you are one inspired poet!

Deputy Dave Jenkins investigates the murder of local high school principal, Jerry Egge, but this is a multi-faceted novel that deals with spiritualism, romance, friendship, and children who fall through the cracks.
