How simple it is two place two fingertips together and press till that numbness appears-- but the longer you hold it the worse the feeling becomes growing like a dull sensation of aching into a cry of release-- minutes sinking deeper into hours' what was it like to be free from that feeling? Is it as simple as letting go? I've been asked repeatedly to explain depression. Though i guess at the end of the day-- I can't blame your thoughts of "well I've been sad, I've cried how worse can depression be isn't it just sadness?". Just remember I don't need saving i'm of the darkness and the light-- both embrace my body and tangle to my soul-- I recall walking home in the darkness, night' the only light the stars dotted like fireflies against the blanket of silence' for if your awake long enough the chattering lies down to slumber and in that place is a peace. Whilst the light brings colors the greens, the yellows, the reds the warmth, spread out into a hazard of swarms walking in all directions-- speaking as if they command you' to veil the senses in the humming such is to be that of a shadow against the soul, showing only the outlines but nothing of the center. How does depression feel? I simply do not have the words. |

"How does depression feel? I simply do not have the words." Yes. Yes. I have talked with a few people who have depression. This I have found out. There is no way to explain depression to someone who have never been depressed. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Depression is millions of different feelings of millions of different people. Every cry that I hear tells me: You will be ok, son. Powerfully written. |

The way mood disorders are usually described is through the use of metaphors. When you can't find the words, find an image. ...just bein' Bluesy |
