A Wave Of Depression
December 16, 2019
The alarm clock sounds
my bed calls to me like white sand beaches
my blankets whisper like salty sea winds
I toss and turn, caught in fuzzy untamable waters
covers crash over my body catching and tangling
the warmth entices me, grasping at my ankles like seaweed in the water
Leafy comfort pulls me down
the waves engulf my face,
and i drown.

Recently beign diagnosed with depression has been a struggle for me. Dealing with the feelings of guilt and longing to stay in bed all day took a toll hurting me and my relationships. I felt like i was drowning in the pain and sadness. So i wrote about my feelings, i wrote about staying in bed, how it felt to me with the covers and the overwhelming feelings of depression.
