A Place To Sit

Depression can be…
Startling with bulging eyes. 
Floral patterned nothings. 
Maybe a place to sit. 
It would be like…
Plopping down into a puddle for no reason. 

I’ve been driven. 
I used to go to work and school. 
Buildings and such. 
Rambling on. 
But the magic is like a wood chipper. 
For nothing. 

Depression is like a magical “Whooshing” sound. 
All the magical clouds just convene.
With hearts that restart for nothing. 
You can’t really go to work or school. 
That was the “Whooshing.”
The “Used To, I Used To.”

Depression could have been plopping down in the puddle. 
The half constructed drive. 
I’ve been driven.
Someone else did the driving. 

Drove me. 

Maybe there is a place to sit. 
There is also ethereal randomness. 
I counted on it too much. 

I counted on it too much. 
What?
Magical clouds and-
Maybe a place to sit.
