In 12 lines, you've summed up my life. Excellent poem, tim, and I had to look up Sisyphean. Thank you for sharing your words, and educating me on a new term.

sorry this is so late ... i'm glad this worked.

Powerful words, that really do sum up what depression is. Whilst I don't suffer it, my husband does so I get to see some of what you go through. Take care tim 

Thanks very much, chris. You've mentioned your husband ... it helps to have support like yours.

A wonderful piece.  I too watch what you go through. I'd take it all from you if I had that power.  But I will be there beside you always. 

Thank you Michael xo

Goddamn, I feel this deeply.

Thank You, Sir.  that makes me feel both good that it was effective but sad that you've experienced this.

This piece is so powerful.

On your worst, darkest days your poetry surpasses anything I could write at my pinnacle.

And that makes me happy. you are my example when I look for what talent with poetry looks like, tim.

  thanks very much, Wayne xo

As several others have commented, this is a powerful piece of writing! You have expressed so much with such a few words. My emotional problem is mostly melancholy. It is pretty well controlled with medication. It can be tough for me, but I can hardly imagine what you go through in a depressive episode. Reading this poem I get a feeling for how you feel, and my heart goes out to you. Thank you for sharing.

i'm lucky in so many ways. Depression and all its bedfellows are annoying and draining, but i think it's the time it takes that is the worst. We never get those days back. Those days we spend in bed or dully in front of the TV are simply days we breathed. We cannot create or do anything more worthwhile. In those days i am often silent with most people, but with some i am angry. The ones i love the most i push away. i am lucky they are who they are and they know.

Thanks for your comments Jeffrey. i appreciate you reading and your comments on this piece. i hope you your family are staying well. xo
