Thorny Poetry - 48. Five Steps

step one

it’s not that i can’t sleep

i just don’t want to go to bed

i’d rather sleep all day than

close my eyes at night

 

step two

i hide away

in made up worlds

in computer games

 

step three

i realise

that thing i was looking forward to

no longer fills me with excitement

instead i feel

cold, blank, disappointed

 

step four

it gets so dark

nothing feels meaningful

every action is pointless and dull

 

step five

i wish i were somewhere else

someone else

so i could go to sleep and

never wake up

It always takes me a little while before I realise I'm depressed.

mmm ... like creeping fog ... gathers at your ankles and slowly covers you  💖 <- is for you ... not how you feel.  i am always told to be for a couple of days and then try to see the light again, find the way out slowly. Each of us learns how best to deal with it. hang in there.

Thanks, tim. ❤️ I try to just swim through it, I guess. Accept that there are days when I just can't and try not to push myself on those days, and then work on it on the days when I can. That's what they told me in my depression psychoeducation class. Then in my bipolar psychoeducation class they told me I just have to live through it and try to do things that are good for me, because, well... it's just my brain chemistry.
