SHADOWS of DEPRESSION
by René Allen
On a clear day I can SEE SHADOWS
They move, they dance, they leap, they prance
before me
Somewhat like water does
except it isn't the water I feel
It isn't the feeling I want
or seek
or need
or desire
It's merely SHADOWS . . .
coming like they always do ~
SHADOWS of DEPRESSION
passing over the me of YOU
and then I bend to brace
to trace back to the place
where I lost myself in depths
of sadness
of pity
of sorrow
Until I realize
that SHADOWS
evade
pervade the psyche
of my mind
and encompass me
to the point of
d~i~s~a~b~i~l~i~t~y
on levels that I can SEE CLEARLY
right here
STANDING here. . .
FEEL me
Touch me
KNOW me.
I am but a shadow of YOU.
