Depression Always Finds Me

             Today I don’t feel up to writing a full post. I have been experiencing an increase in my depression. It comes stealthily and drags me down. Writing usually helps, but right now I need more journal-type writing, writing just for me. So, please forgive me for the short post. I just don’t have a topic idea at the moment. Maybe I will be able to write something tomorrow. For today I will share a short poem that matches what I am experiencing. It actually may be an unfinished poem. I might try to finish it later. 

 

Depression Always Finds Me

 

My mood drops.

The weight of my thoughts becomes unbearable.

I pull the blanket further over my head,

Trying to hide the depression that encapsulates me.

Hiding is futile.

The depression always finds me.
