Afterwards

How depression can feel. Trust me, I know! Smiles.

Afterwards

After years of earnest toil,

Sleepless nights of care,

Even nightmare on occasion,

Constant effort,

Hanging in there...

When it’s all gone by,

The weariness grows...

So easy,

So very easy to let go,

To not hang on;

So hard

To really live your life

And keep on trying,

When reasons hide away

In sad little corners.
