“Depression is the inability to construct a future.”
-Rollo May
Does anyone really know what to do with depression? When I fell into that darkness at age thirty, I had a doctor who immediately said, “Let’s put you on medication.” Certainly I was desperate, and I was sinking into a dark hole that I didn’t anticipate the depths that depression would take me to, so I downed the pills without much thought.

Held together by twin Only now expressing The secret face Of our enter selves.
Having been seduced By a lover’s
Darkest kiss No longer laced together — Merely to be left behind In the window
Of yesterdays Kissed only By tomorrow’s sun.
