it seems i could be
more depressed than i'd like to
admit reading that

zerothehero

today was better
i'm just overwhelmed with work
i want my life back

zerothehero

let me think on that
oh wait i don't have a life
oh yes i do no

Elseware

The depression route
So freaky, cold and scary
No light at the end

And then the earth turns
Our light begins to come back
The solstice it seems

Maybe you will smile
Not so hopeless as you think
I've gotten better

So it can be done
You've a sweet and precious life
This will pass for you

zerothehero

too tired to be mad
i tap with flaccid fingers
with nothing to say

zerothehero

i've been sober for
62 million heartbeats
who woulda thunk it

zerothehero

this thread gets buried
fast on account of all the
alcoholics' posts

Elseware

And that would be me
And the opium addicts
And the benzo freaks

Yeah that would be me
Methinks it's time to own that
I do not want to

Elseware

Rain falling sideways
My mind is quiet and calm
I am warm and safe

zerothehero

i do a body
scan and my body sinks like
i'm on heroin

my concentration
as i listen takes away
the pain like a pill

am i addicted
to mindfulness or am i
addicted to life

Carpathia

She travelled the world
feeding elephants, squatting
closer to the earth

I pondered her tale
Asking myself what if I
fed elephants too?

Would they smile, or
knock my head with their large trunks?
I'll feed birds instead

zerothehero

my niece stares at a
feces covered rock and says
i ******* hate birds

Elseware

A guano phobic
You know she should accept it
All that eat must poop

zerothehero

Nailed it.

zerothehero

man without a face
traces his face in its place
this is not a race

Elseware

Man with no facade
It's deceptively simple
Deep but without depth

zerothehero

seems complicated
but in reality just
a trick of the light

zerothehero

if i could take back
all the years and all the tears
i'm sure i wouldn't

Elseware

Darkest day has dawned
Horses stand miserable
I walk with fake smile

And somehow it helps
I laugh. It's ridiculous
And gladness is born

zerothehero

the darkest day is
but a window to new days
with ever more light
