I Dig Again
This is my depression:
Life is temporarily grey.
Things that usually would not bother,
Infuriate me.
I cannot see what society wants of me,
I cannot even see what my friends want of me.
My mind is blank as I wander through life.
Lethargy insinuates my body,
Rich foods call me -
It all only digs my hole deeper.
I sit down in my hole,
I have no energy left,
No reason left to attempt
A clamber up those ever steeper sides.
I lie down in my hole.
The hole will dig or fill as life dictates,
I have given up trying to dictate it.
This is my depression,
Life is continually
Any shade of grey.
