Depression

There’s two kinds of sadness

First

There’s the kind we’ve all come to know

The one that shows upon your face

The unnerving storms

The rivers of tears

The sleepless nights

The fearful darkness

We’re warned of the demons that arise among the clouds

Told to not let it consume you

But

The thing about rain

Is it’s beautiful impermanence

The clouds always clear

And the sun reappears brighter

Though this sadness may be painful

It comes and goes

As do the seasons

Then

There’s the kind unwritten and unheard

Not so much a storm

But rather

A void some can’t help but fall in to

These monsters are inescapable

They seep into your skin

Taking shelter in your heart

And there they stay

You may find you’re still able to breath

Smile

And even laugh

As your insides are dissolving

Into the slow and quiet murmur

Of timeless sorrow

Making sadness your new home

Till forever’s end
