Feeling a little bit blue
I don't think you understand,
My mind becomes a wasteland,
As useless as a dead hand,
Its usually a sunday morning or a friday night,
I tell a lie, these last few months,
every day it want to fight,
It is a tidal wave of the deepest blue,
just suddenly falls over you,
Have you felt it too?
I try to shrug it off,
but it gets me its crocodile jaws and drags me down to its deeps blue bottom,
and rolls,
and rolls,
and rolls,
until I confused drowning for living - handing it my soul.
Then it leaves me,
not for long i admit,
but in the time it is gone I feel all alone,
It has been too long blue please come back,
You have had me so long I believe without you I lack,
I lack?,
I lack... everything.
Oh but then I am fine again,
Laughing with friends as if I were 10,
Riding bikes and going on late night hikes,
I forget about you,
I really do,
But I heard the ocean yesterday,
and I think about that deepest blue,
it cuts through me like a panda striping bamboo,
stomach flu,
my mum tells me to rest,
"mum" I say,
you don't understand,
"I am feeling a little bit blue".

I wanted to write a poem that describes how sadness feels for me, even the tricky parts that sometimes your sad for so long you forget who you are without it - Learning to recover from sadness and anxiety has been a real learning curve for me. Poetry is helping me with that.
