Brown study


When sorrow goes deep
there is no bottom to it
but it just goes on sinking
beyond any bottom
beyond any end
forever
to continue dragging you down
into an endless maze of misery
until you get lost in yourself
paralyzed beyond tears.
The only way out, though, is through.
You have to outstare the limbo of emptiness,
and if that nothingness can't be filled
in any other way,
since anything is better than nothing,
at least you can fill it with your sorrows.

Feeling down now and then may be a good thing, but real depression is just no damn good. Good evocation of the badness of it.
