Darkness out of no where
I was feeling free like a butterfly floating in the summer breeze,
I was convinced I was as useful as the bumble bees.
Suddenly the dark thoughts crept up like a spider on its delicate toil.
Then I turned into a worm cowering beneath the soil.

Remember earth worms aerate the soil and help soil drainage. So in any form, you are quite useful.
I know the dark thoughts can be overwhelming as you point out in your poem. One moment happy the next diving for cover. Hope expressing it on this medium helps you cope and push back the darkness.

I loved the analogies used in the last stanza of this piece. A clever piece.

Dear M,
You are never useless here. And you are that butterfly. You continue to write about sadness with laser precision. H🌷

Beautifully expressed Meganne. It's so easy to be dragged down by depression and anxiety and your words are so meaningful. I really felt this. You are beautiful and I hope you fly like the butterfly that you.
