The weight of the darkness
depression
depression.
it's a weight that's hard to bear,
a darkness that seems to always be there.
Robbing us of our joy,
leaving us feeling like a broken toy.
depression.
it's a battle that's fought within.
a struggle that's hard to begin.
an emptiness that's hard to fill,
a pain that seems too never still.
depression.
it's a heavy cloud.
that follows us around.
it's a maze that's hard to navigate.
a journey that's hard to contemplate.
depression.
it seems like a never-ending fight.
there is no end in sight.
it feels like we are drowning,
the hill that we have to climb is inclining.
depression.
it's not a sign of weakness,
it's a reminder that we are human, and we only seek completeness.
no shame in taking heed,
reach out when were in need.

Dad
Dear dad, I tried so hard to get you to be part of my life. The moment that you and my mom split up, it was like you weren't a parent anymore. At least, not mine. I have always wanted to know why? Why did you not want to be part of my life? Why was it so easy for you to just throw me away?
