It's cosy here
In this depression
When the curtains
Finally close
Here, I can surrender
Into sweet sadness
That extends far beyond my toes
A smile here, a twinkle there
Will I ever laugh once more?
I know not a future
Past submissance to an empty floor
I allow myself to crack & crumble
Down to the very last cell
Permitting the depth
Of human experience
So often shunned
Quickly
Stigmatised unwell
But I do not dare make myself wrong
Nor shame an inch of my being
Instead, I welcome each fragmented part
That repairs my soul by feeling
So for now, I close my curtains
While I wrap myself up warm
Allowing emotions to become weather
A silent surrender
To nature's storm
