Challenge
describe depression.
I know many challenges on here are "fun", but I wanted to get more serious with this one, especially considering that many (myself included) experience or have experienced some form of depression. It's almost like a taboo- you may feel uncomfortable writing about it. But just try to describe this darkness- look it in the eyes and see it for what it is, record your insights here in any form. Remember to tag me @Dream.
Depression
Slow
to leave
the darkness
the comfort
the oblivion
of sleep
I awaken
day
after
day
after
day
to a world
drained
of color
of joy
of energy
suffocating
on hues
of gray
I feel
heavy
lumbering
listless
my body
an unwanted
weight
the air
laden
with melancholy
despair
woe
my mind
mired
in the endless
soul-destroying
mind-numbing
why’s
of it all
the answers
to which
I do not
know.
