Christmas 2016
I have heard all my life about people having Christmas Day depression . . . Never understood it . . . Today I do.
I lie awake
I cannot sleep
I suck air into my lungs
I cannot breathe
I try to converse
I cannot speak
my eyes are wide open
but I canot look
I try to think thoughts
my mind is broken
I listen
I cannot hear
christmas day depression
has found its way to me
