Escaping the Box of Depression: Photo Challenge

Disassociation is what the doctors called it.

It will soon get better with these pills, they said.

But many weeks went by without a sign of relief,

As the depression continued to fill me with dread.

Constant darkness hovered, with no lights in sight,

I had to find a better way out of that painful box.

So, I put on the music that had always soothed me,

Dancing until my beleaguered soul came unblocked.

Life gets so encumbered by worries and fears,

And we can find ourselves with a box over our heads.

So, we must learn what our souls need to be free,

So we can escape the box before the darkness spreads.
