There's days when i'm lost, stranded in thought,
hours of contemplation, still out of sorts.
Images capture my mind, ruminating over and over each time.
whirlpools of words scattered in darkness,
collaborating, sabotaging, enebriating my vastness.
Good floats, wisdom gloats, amoungst the emptiness,
trespassing negitiveness tries to black out,
rational thinking, grounded reasonings, is a safe house.
What transpires, or influences these patterns,
is it the magnetic pull from the glowing lantern.
Rising, growing brighter until its full,
influencing tides with all its pull.
could the moon be the culprit, that keeps me churning within,
is it coinsendence, that it happens each time,
or paranoid dillusions, playing with my mind.
surely i'm right, this is the answer to my cries,
a logical reality, persuaded by.
time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all,
This is my challenge, to be stronger of coarse.
shrowded in want, sometimes I crawl,
try to stand, stumble and fall.
Day's can be fine, I'm on top of the world,
rug is pulled from under my feet, again lying in dirt.
up and down, up and down,
take each day as it comes, I'm not alone.

I loveeee this poem. <3
Thank you
Depression is real and the strongest influence is your mind. You can choose how you want to see things and leave the bad things behind. Easier said than done when it continues like an endless cycle, until you’ve realised you are your own rival. Little do you know, with every single attempt to fight the paradox, you become stronger to change that inner chatterbox.
There are many secondary influences that are linked to your emotions, pulling you back. Try to create and link a new happy memory, then you’ll be back on track. It will take lots of practice and time, but remember your loved ones can help you climb.
Sorry your poem inspired me to reply in an attempted poem. lol I'm not good at it. But I hope you understand it. There is a good book to read, if you are interested. It is called 'Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway'.
