Today I feel so hollow
The depression it hits me hard
There is no thought
There is no action
That makes me feel this way
It is just a feeling that I live with
Every single day
Sometimes I forget
Until I sit still
Then I realize that this depression
It is real
There is no specific reason
For the way I feel
I sit here alone in silence
Hoping this feeling will end
This is when I try to escape
This is when I pretend
Nyx

I had a laugh when I saw your disclaimer. Nonetheless I wanted to share that our society live in a bubble of psycho emotional numbing down of difficult feelings and emotions. What is often not talked about is that there is an unseen gift in depression. Depression offers us an opportunity to finally heal. I write about how to recognize the opportunity and how to cease it. Please share if you see the value. Thank you Bethany. https://freefallintoreality.com/2017/11/23/how-to-heal-anxiety-and-depression/

I need a disclaimer like this. People some times get all concerned and worried about me with what I write when it may have stemmed from a comercial I saw on tv or a fleeting thought or even the sound of an acorn falling on a roof. It can be that simple and evoke a poem about desolation from a tiny fragment of emotion that I just let flow out.
Anyway! Awesome poetry as always. I love reading your words

Well, depression is not all writing poetry and drinking coffee all day. Its like your mind is stuck in traffic and can figure no way out.
Hope you or the person whom you’re writing for comes out of this phase.
I am all ears, if you need any.
Your friend,
Enigma 🙂 ❤
