Depression Sonnet
May 26, 2020
When the world collapses around you
When emotions are always running high
When all that was normal is strange and new
When all you are able to do is cry
When you are nothing if not an issue
When even your family and friends agree
When it’s not only them but also you
When you know that you will never be free
When any bit of happiness is rare
When the solution’s difficult to find
When suffering seems to be only fair
When darkened is what once so brightly shined
When life has taken the path of the stark
What’s there to do of the infinite dark?
