Depression grinds me down
Like a peppercorn in a mill
Squeezing creativity out
As if treading grapes
Random thoughts flood the ether
Clinging to receptive brains
Flowing, sand like,
Through the fibres of the mind
Filtered by our feelings
These thoughts reside
In the depths of us
Until the time is right
Contemplative, we sit,
Waiting for inspiration
Relying on emotion
To choose a direction
Happy? Sad? Joy? Pain?
These fuel our efforts
Expressions of our psyche
Manifested on the page
Love it? Hate it?
Do I really care?
It’s just a release for me
A way to vent hot air
So read, or don’t
I’ll just carry on
While I hurt I write
This pain just sits so deep.
