Poem -
IDK.
I wasn’t happy for long
nothing makes me happy for long
not you,
not what I do;
it doesn’t take much to be happy,
but it also doesn’t take much to be depressed
I’m depressed.
I know I am.
I’m so fucking depressed.
Too bad I don’t drink
or do drugs;
“It’s a different kind of happiness,” – is what I hear
and “You really believe what’s happening around you.” –
I hear that too.
but I do believe what’s happening around me
and I also believe in what’s happening around me,
and you, and me too…
but I’m still depressed.
All the-bloody-time.
I’m so fucking depressed.
I’m never happy for long
nothing makes me happy for long
not you,
not what I do…

IDK = I DON'T KNOW (essentially) or whatever you can come up with using those letters - make as least amount of sense as you can, then you'll understand what I really mean with this poem...lol
eg. Important Donuts Kingdom
thanks for reading, please come again. X)
Hehehe!! You truly are a Poetry Queen! Therefore I bow down!!Â
girl, shut up...LOL. but yeah, you should bow down, cause you're too damn tall. I'm sick of 'looking up to you'. ;-)
Iridescent Diaphragmatic Kestrel...
Everything is just slightly, indefinably wrong...like shoes on the wrong feet or a jumper on backwards...something doesn't feel right;Â but you can't quite put your finger on it: at first it niggles, merely...then slowly it drives you to distraction and you still don't know what the hell is wrong with you...or how to fix it.
That sense of growing exasperation and building rage is brilliantly captured in this poem; as the repeated phrases seem more desperate and raging the second time round.
Excellent!

Jason, those are some pretty, big-ass words i had to dust my oxford dictionary off to find the meanings for! HAHAHA, but thanks for playing along - yeah it most certainly was a rage-write...

What's particularly heartening about that is that you reached for a dictionary...an actual codex...rather than just Googling the words! That gives me hope Heidi, it really does!!
It's almost as fantastic as your poem...

I suffer terribly from depression. But it’s STRONG AND POWERFUL that you face it without using alcohol and other drugs. I have. It only makes it worse. This was fantastic. Thank you for writing it and sharing it with us here!Â

Thanks Michael! I mean you certainly don't feel strong and/or powerful at the time, but if someone can point those qualities out for you...it certainly makes a person feel better and brighter! I mostly just wait it out; like a bad-dream, it'll abruptly end...IDK
Admire yourself. Recognize your strength. You have the gift. You can write. That’s SO therapeutic. Just keep writing. And sharing it here so I can read it!!Â
hehehe, okay then
