You told me to wait.
I did, and sat and drank.
Troubled, with ideas blurry and blind
I fell into a hole,
and flew next to the sun. It was fun
and stayed the same and
was all that anyone needed to grow.
Depression comes in waves.
In a mind filled with worry, and body
filled with tension.
you probably didn’t know
nor did you feel the need to mention.
You and I always happen.
The world comes into view, and with
a silent and persistent acquiescence
falls away
until it’s time for the next show.
