Disassociating Dissonance
They fight a tough battle from the inside / out, feeling like they're trapped in a gray, gloomy world. Even on the sunniest days simple tasks like showering and/or getting dressed can feel like carrying heavy weights uphill. It's almost like they're stuck. Stuck in a cloudy haze, watching everyone else be happy while they're just barely able to keep their heads above water. But they keep fighting, taking one small step at a time. Mainly, because they refuse to give up. They're the warriors of this invisible war fighting against depression. Come join them in understanding what it's like to live with major depressive disorder.
Blessings,
Daniel Henry Rodgers

Lost -
Through an Eagle's eye
Over Fields of plenty
Where rivers and creeks
Never run dry
But I can't feel it
Mountains rising up
Touching the pink, blue,
And rustic orange skies.
I just don't know why
… I just can't feel it
I am a lost page within the novel
No one knows my inner battles
Entering another day
Of constant trials and prattles
Lost –
Through the ears
Of a Great Horned Owl
Where life's creation falls silent
Scurrying about
But I can't feel it
Forests of trees where an
Acappella choir resounds
Magically starting the day
Reverberating all around.
I just can't feel it
And the sea sprites dance
To a rhythm of time
Reaching out to my soul
Touching my heart
Seeking to free and unbind…
I cry, for I can't feel it
No, I just can't feel it
For morning becomes noon
Noon becomes day
For everything has its place
With a time to work
And a time to play
I give up, for I can't feel it
I will never feel it
I look to the four corners
Seeking answers,
But the wind is motionless
And the world, unfeeling
For such are the plans
I never made
So I turn the page….
