Depression


I can feel myself slipping. I guess it is what was meant to be. Maybe I shouldn't try so hard to avoid the inevitable.

I watched as the months stripped away the familiar.  I surrendered the suit, it was suffocating me anyway. A gift of new life was abruptly taken away, and the reaper still lingers, with unfinished business with the elderly. The dankness is choking the foundations of my home.

I have come away from all of this with my sanity intact. For now. Your love and compassion kept me anchored to the only place of solace left. I have held on tight to save myself. And in my weariness, your grip was for us both. With everything else crumbling, I fear my embrace will suffocate what sustains me.

From afar I stare into its darkness, that which consumes everything. I see no escape from it, that which feeds on light and hope. Please stay with me, my love, for I am scared. And once fear sets in, I know that it is finally upon me.

When fear grips the being, seek high places of solace. Tranquility is assured when the thirst of the spirit is quenched. :)

Sorry that I can't give you any words to comfort you. Mukhang sabaw ang utak ko ngayon.

But you'll be in my prayers Sean. I hope you find solace on this time of unrest. My lines are also open to listen. Hugs to you.

while you still see the darkness, there is still hope, because darkness is an experience of sight, and is, in a strange way, a testament to your continued existence. you are not the oblivion of the void. should the darkness consume the light, which only the eyes can see, then attempt to see with your heart. keep hope, be strong and let that love see you through this upheaval. this, too, shall pass.

Canonista said...

I suggest you find strength from deep within you, after all, at the end of each day... all we have are ourselves.

I know that sometimes, we are just to weak to carry such luggage on our own, a little help or a helping hand from someone is comforting, knowing there is or there are people to help you. However, it is when we are alone, where we discover how strong we are.

Smile, as you linger in melancholy, stand up and walk through the cold darkness that embraces you.

Canonista said...

Here's a song I find fitting for anyone undergoing such time in their lives...

Grapevine Fires by Death Cab for Cutie

When the wind picked up, the fire spread
And the grapevine seemed left for dead
And the northern sky looked like the end of days,
The end of days

And a wake-up call to a rented room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
To warn us it's only a matter of time
Before we all burn...

Bought some wine and some paper cups
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
And drove to a cemetery on a hill, on a hill

We watched the plumes paint the sky gray
She laughed and danced through the field of graves
And there I knew it would be all right
That everything would be all right,
Would be all right...

And the news reports
On the radio said it was getting worse
As the ocean air fanned the flames
But I couldn't think
Of anywhere I would've rather been
To watch it all burn away
Burn away,
Burn...

And the firemen worked in double shifts
With prayers for rain on their lips
And they knew it was only a matter of time

Hmmm...pak! ang entry na to dahil napacomment ulit ako...
Find time at least to question yourself on why you are feeling that way, sooner you will find the antidote to this depression. Lucky you! You have someone that will hold you tight. And don't worry, God sees us.
