This story contains themes of: depression
All Rights Reserved ©
This poetic collection of haikus is a tribute to my on-going journey through a life burdened by depression. I hope that I may adequately convey the thoughts, questions, and feelings that have been so significant in my being as I have searched for understanding and relief throughout this trial. No matter what your life circumstances may be, I hope that these poems (though sometimes abstract) might shed light upon an understanding of the weight and reality that is depression. This book is ongoing, I have not at all finished it yet. I would appreciate any feedback you might have, especially constructive criticism. And please let me know if you think it would be worthwhile for me to write up descriptive explanations after each poem to help the reader understand what element of depression I am attempting to convey through the haiku. Thanks!!

Despair grips my soul
Darkness follows the sunset
Will there be an end?
2
Butterflies transform
From free wings to stubby legs
Or is my sight flawed?
3
Pushing and pulling
The ever-ceaseless tides rise
How hard can I swim?
4
Birds sing in silence
Unwitnessed by any ears
Do they sing at all?
5
Hail and sleet assail
Taking all but the strongest
What of the saplings?
