Depression     It’s  a  tight  knot  kick  to  your  stomach   Dreading  what’s  to  come  will  show  what  you  already  know     You  are  useless.   Your  aspirations  rest  weightless  in  the  ether   Where  no  one  cares.     You  find  yourself  always  simply  going  through  the  motions,   Like  a  worker  on  an  assembly  line;   Detached  from  you  your  body’s  acts  –     Your  head  checked  out.     And  you  think  there  is  no  point  to  what  you  are  trying  to  do.   Because  it  all  just  seems  too  damn  hard;   Thinking  of  what  it’ll  take  of  you  leaves  you  tired.                                         5
