How many poems
can I write about depression?
before I realise it is
becoming an obsession.
I know it’s better to try
and get it all out of my head
then to keep it inside
and confine myself to bed.
The words offer healing
but they come at a price
for I think each poem
is the final throw of the dice.
Then out of nowhere another
depressing thought appears,
leaving me no choice
but to relive all those years
when I didn’t grab the
opportunity I was given.
Instead I was a person
who was never driven.
Who lived his life
always seeking permission
while unable to shake
loose all his inhibitions.

Such deep feelings expressed so simply yet beautifully.💕
