No poem from me today. Just a POWERFUL performance by a young woman who tires to explain to her mother what depression is. If you haven’t seen this video, nor heard this reading, please, please, take the time to do so…..

Locked inside this fantasy
Of colors changing hue
That fade away too easily
Leaving shades of blue
Block the colors from my mind
Memories of much better times
Reflections in the mirror, you
Reflections that I never knew
Locked outside of brighter days
Emotions I now lack
Feelings turned into malaise
As colors fade to black

Emptiness lies beyond the mist
Pallid colored crystals shift
She walks on tip toes, through the grass
Blades that feel like shards of glass
Wondering where it is she’ll go
Lost among the fog aflow
That swirls about her naked skin
Uncloaked to feel the cold within
Of winter’s chill that holds no kindness
Frozen in this icy blindness
She wanders on into the haze
Her mind adrift in a languid daze

Push away the storm
Erase the darkened sky
Look beyond today
As clouds are rolling by
Chasing thoughts of gray
Replacing them with light
He will always guide your way
Throughout the day and night
Do not be discouraged
Let brightness always shine
Happiness shall fill your soul
With Heaven’s smile, divine

Body ravaged by an unknown being
Time escapes, an unsettled fleeing
Torn and tattered in bits and pieces
No longer feeling simple releases
Fighting the fury kept deep inside
Seeking the comfort that’s long been denied
Hidden apart from an every day dream
Visions aren’t always what they seem
Clustered around with anger and strife
Wondering why this has taken my life
So many dreams have been swept away
Agony brings yet another day
Of fighting a battle with ghosts deep inside
Seeking the comfort that’s long been denied
