Sad Place

Sometimes I go to that sad place

Then there’s nothing I can face

So I isolate myself

Crazy things can send me down

Like fall leaves on broken ground

And dark birds flying out of town

Good reasons, or no reasons

Cloudy days and grey seasons

And sideways rain

I’ve been told to adjust my attitude

That this is just an interlude

To power through

Medications from Dr. G

CBT, and talk therapy

I do them all

I think I try--but too flat to even cry

Don’t understand why

This still happens to me

Keep self-harm visions at bay

This too will pass one day

And I will be all right

For awhile
Until sadness swells  again
I will be all right
