I Can No Longer Feel The Sun

Syd

With every beat of my heart

I grow increasingly tired

 

I cannot keep my food down

nor do I care to

 

Tell me,

what is this I'm feeling?

 

When my arms 

convert to weights

and my legs 

to anchors

 

When the sun shines

but I can no longer feel it

on my skin

 

When tired has an 

entirely new definition 

If tired is for needing to sleep, 

then what do you call it

when being tired becomes so much more than that?

 

How do you keep going

when you spend all of your time 

waiting for the sun

and it never comes?

    Fine poem describing your depression, SYD. It can be treated, but it's common at your age.

    Awww, this makes me sad. But I have been in the same position many times before 🙁
