A site so blue
Without depression life would be hell,
never stumbling to have eventually fell,
never reached up to grab a grip,
never felt the feeling of the slip.
We would be missing a lesson to have learned,
the feeling of depressions color so burned.
Forcefully etching its blueish tint deep,
while the other feelings quietly sleep.
To the depression that covers me well,
because of which, many times I fell.
Fearing a falling sense and of coming doom,
sitting alone with you in this room.
I hesitate to speak truth of you,
while surrounded by this color so blue.
Your brightness blinds the lessons to learn,
I'm lost in the color of depressions concern.
The longer you force me to tumble down,
below the surface, to wavelessly drown,
the harder it will be to see the top,
and force the falling to slowly stop.
It's hard to climb up and out of your hold,
when your sides are covered with mold.
My thoughts struggle to grasp a grip,
back down I continuously slide and slip.
I'm living in your dreaded life of fright,
surrounded by your familiar blueish site.
Always sitting silently by my side,
it's with you I often confide.
I ask the questions that bring on gloom,
solicit the answers of my coming doom.
Ponder your responses as I slide and slip,
waiting for some change to firmly grip.
So to you depression I digress,
I need your color, I must confess.
It reminds me of her eyes so clear,
with you I'm sitting, keeping her near.

The lower we go
The higher we can get.
A poignant reminder to those who do not suffer from it, that depression is a powerful thing and once in it, it controls everything, mood, reaction, emotion, feeling and belief, and is very hard to break away from from. Well written piece
As you express very eloquently in this poem, depression is a process. I believe part of that process is the ability to examine it and try to understand what it does to you, and for you. Good write!
Excellent write
