I\u2019m not depressed right now, I\u2019m actually in really great spirits but it\u2019s very frustrating when I\u2019m in a conversation with somebody that doesn\u2019t believe in depression or thinks it\u2019s a weakness or feigned sickness. This is my attempt at explaining how depression feels... _____________________________You\u2019d be amazed at how many buildings I\nfell off today,\nhow many grounds I almost grabbed\nhow many times I almost made myself the candle\nthe melted\nthe inevitable collapse that follows\na successful run.\nanother thing I cannot celebrate\nit hurts to be standing\u2013\neven worse laying down\nit\u2019s like I\u2019m being force-fed\nmy own heartbeat\nI don\u2019t like it.\nI don\u2019t like it.\nYou\u2019d be amazed\nby my brain\u2026\nhow it tells me to leave\nno directions\njust\u2014\u2014\nleave.\n\n\xa0\n\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nakedpoetry/support
