7 Stages of Depression

a poem

Melancholy Monday
Turn up Tuesday
Weeping Wednesday
Tantrum Thursday
Fantastic Friends Friday
Sorrowful Saturday
Smiley face Sunday

The outside
doesn’t always match the inside,
nor can it even begin to
emotions settle to the bottom
like sand in a water glass
yearning for the surface…
for air…
to breath
