Swim in the sadness
I stopped writing poetry around the same time I started on antidepressants,
The thing is - I can’t seem to write without swimming in the sadness.
The thing is - I can’t seem to swim in the sadness without loosing my breath and beginning to drown in it.
As I drown I don’t slowly sink.
I fall with a weight on my chest that is the other sides of me, leaving scars as I go down.
The thing is - when they turn white, they need to be pink. When they are pink I feel the weight lift, so how do I get back to the surface without tearing myself apart?

Depression is horrible. There is no way around it, but it can get better. I've been through a depression, it can get better with time. I hope it does for you.
