Some words of comfort for someone going through depression. Many people are struggling to get through this time. What would you say to them? Put it into any poetry form of your choice. (Can even be stream consciousness) What I’m looking for is good flow /rhythm, word choice, and a clear message.

Ode to Conquering

Let’s start by detangling these thoughts, shall we?

Digging deep to why you care.

The ebb and flow dragging both directions,

I get it, life isn’t fair. 

Taking on weights of others’ worlds,

I can’t help but wonder what you try to prove. 

The death of a loved one is still valid pain, 

Even if it’s you.

Is it death we crave sometimes, 

Or the freedom it leaves?

Believe there is a delicate plan involved, 

Heart destined for sleeves.

Keep your head up in clouds, 

Breathe, my dear. 

You may not know me,

But we can both conquer fear.
