Depressed, but writing
DEPRESSED, BUT WRITING
In my silence mode
I cannot let go
cultivating thoughts
which overflow
follow my staircase
down to the depths
into my corner
again I have crept
silence, my comfort
solitude, the dream
calm to the outside
inward I scream
dour is my enemy
firm-rooted and dark
outspread the branches
many flowered, all black
dank is my dungeon
limitless in time
forever befallen
forever consigned
JAMES REID
