Depression…

To me, one aspect of depression is like being in the middle of the most beautifully filled field of flowers, or standing faced with incredible beauty and all you can feel is your soul shattering into pieces...a sense that you’re drowning in pain that can’t be articulated let alone fully explained.

I have spent many moments gazing at the nights sky, overwhelmed by the beauty of the universe and longing to get closer to the stars; I needed to feel part of something, have some meaning injected into my soul but all that was left was a unrequited longing that ached so badly and unravelled me to my core.

On one of these nights I wrote a poem, gazing upon the moon feeling stung by its beauty and almost moved to tears.
