March 11, 2021
and sunlight came today,
I gave myself a break,
away from a self absorbed existence,
a breathe of fresh air to partake.
and vision came today,
depression to replace.
My mind flooding with ideas,
I re-joined the human race.
and hope came by today,
a future I could see.
Solitude, a draughty corridor
that nearly was the death of me.
and for the umpteenth
time that day,
the mind unsettled –
in disarray.
and birds that came
for daily bread,
absent from the air –
the world seemed dead.
So still, too still,
pressure intense.
That day so different,
nothing made sense.
and for the umpteenth
time that day,
all sense of reason
went away.
any chance of hope
inside my head,
quickly replaced
by fear and dread.
What point – no point
to life, I thought,
when at rock bottom
some help I sought.
