Grim

The calm is the outer façade.

The beatific smile, the confident smirk.

Aeons of practice in front of the mental mirror.


The spring season blossoms the flowers of pink.

The gushing blood pounds , the pressure building.

The mirror fragments , the pieces fused with the plastic .

The mental state.


The playground buzzes with shouts and screams,

The merry go round whirls, dizziness circles

The nausea builds.


The indifference, the insensitivity

Accusations, tears, and screams.

sinking in the quick sands

The uncontrollable leap.


Hysteria is humorous

The prescriptions force the slumber party.

The popcorn buttered with depression.

The jolly fattening tragedy.


The punctuation of thoughts.

The serial comma after the and,

Depression is the tense.

Continuous, highly nuanced.


The trajectory of depression

The curves, the bends, the alleyways.

Directionally challenged. Mentally deranged.


Destruction, Annihilation,

Truce, War, Terror, Victim

The warring factions

A simple complex emotion.

Depression.
