A DIP IN DEPRESSION

A dip out of depression
has led me here
to write all about its agonising fear.

Unable to eat
Unable to clean
Unable to rest
Unable to sleep

So how did I manage
to break free for a while?
I called on a counsellor
who could make me smile.

My head felt vacant
from chaos, confusion
Last night I was free
from despair and delusion.

But this morning I woke
without way to unwind
I was back with the devil
inside of my mind.

I needed to find another way out
before I fall any deeper
encased in self-doubt.

Unable to function
Unable to think
Unable to live
only able to sink.

So I turn to the drink
in hopes to disguise
the upside down frown
that keeps me alive. 
 
There had to be reason
behind my mind’s eye
that has me imprisoned
depression was nigh.

So with an agitated sigh
I got on the internet
and researched why
depression was taking a hold of my life.

Many answers fulfilled my questions of angst
once again I felt free
and for that I give thanks.
