A Bit Of Depression Poem by Andy Caldwell

there is silence now
most unusual
the TV or the radio
are almost always on
I want to drown out
people talking at me
asking me to think
or asking how I feel
asking me what's real
but the TV's and radios
the music and their shows
block out my thoughts
I just linger here as me
or I could lament on Parkinson's
and tell everyone what's wrong
with them
I am living with depression
it never goes away
at times it lays dormant
but always here it stays
even when I'm happy
depression hovers near
constantly whispering
gloom into my ear
