Deep in the darkness
your heart may lurk
solitary, frozen, fearful
despair feels somehow restorative
—
The fantasies come along
An existence absence of you
The sadness thick; isolation never-ending
Every door on which you knock is closed
—
The intensity of the thoughts thicken
You are but a wretched person
You have solely yourself
Insignificant in the universe
—
You begin to question
Why did I come
This could not have been a choice
Anything else would have been better
—
The ego moves you slow like molasses
You forget who you are
You slip farther away
You feel comfort in the cavern
—
The earth shakes; you have hit the bottom
As your body slams onto the earth
A singular thought arises
I do not want to be with myself any more
—
Something curious happens
The thought makes you realize
You are not the sum of your experience
Who is “you”? Who is “yourself”?
—
An awareness of distinction
Clears your skies of consciousness
The dark sky altered your perception
But abruptly you have shifted
—
Grasping the blackness
Amplifies the beauty of the light
One cannot exist without the other
Harmoniousness becomes you
—
Your radiant glow spreads
To the totality of what your touch
And your dark night of the soul
Brings others into their beauty
—
A blessing in disguise
A deliverance from terror
The experience assists you
And millions will learn from you
This one can serve as inspiration and motivation for others to fight and win against their depression and anxiety. Good one!
