Depressions Darkness

Its like being a caterpillar

going into a very dark

place

To become a butterfly

Coming through a dark tunnel

Finally seeing light

Spreading my beautiful wings

to fly

Breaking free to live

Coming through cracked glass

Trying to find my way through distortion

Pieces fall  away

Before I clearly see

Darkness of depression encases me

in a cocoon of sadness

That only I feel

An aching that lingers deep inside

somewhere

Hollow echoes in the deep

Where only my mind

hears.

Wonderfully expressed Weeping willow. How cocooned you feel in that tunnel of depression. Struggling to find a glimmer of light. It will happen and you will emerge into the light, a radiant butterfly my friend. Sending you warmth in your darkness.

the cocoon is a darkness, we only hear our inner self, and that tunnel seems endless...but eventually
we metamorphose into the winged creature that gets to fly away with smiles.
