Canyonlands

Depression is not a “get better”

Depression is the vast Canyons of my mind

That section of the cortex

Built in just as healthy and vibrant

As the cortex fueling my effervescent happiness

And positive proactivity

But Depression is a battle

Not a one-time fix

A day-in-out battle and way-of-being

For we are in power of ourselves

And we are the water that cuts

These canyons

That create this Canyonlands

We call our Self

Sometimes we can fly

Over our Canyonlands

Our Self

As a lonely Raven

But at nightfall we roost as a flock
