245. A Depressive Mind Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

A mind which loses its calmness and peace
By a terrible shock, becomes depressive
And suffers from a mental disorder, anxiety.

When a man loses his dearest one accidently
Or if his closest one betrays him terribly
His mind begins to burn in the fire of depression.

Like a nocturnal owl the mind spends sleepless nights.
Like a blood sucker depression saps its vitality
And then like a straw it soars in the sky of nothingness.

Like the withered leaves falling in winter,
Thoughts become pale, sapless and dry
In the cells of a depressive mind.

No smile, no joy, no happiness lives there.
One by one they bid the mind goodbye.
Then it starts to lead a lonely life day after day.

It lives as one who is alive physically
But almost insane or dead mentally
And behaves like an abnormal being.

When a mind becomes depressive by chance,
It suffers from loneliness and unending agony
Like a convict confined in a dark lone cell for years.

The mind rests on the thorn-bed day after day
In a dark and desolate room isolated from life
And gradually becomes so restless and suicidal.

A depressive man needs love, support and care
From his dear ones to be cured properly
Fom the terrible state of mind called depression.
