A point of time
There was a point
of time
when I was
not sure
of what I could say
if I ever met my friends
at some point.
how
could I
hold
a conversation
when I
haven’t
been able to
get a hold
of m y

how
could I
even meet them
when I haven’t
met
mys
elf
in some time?
____________
Occasionally
though
I manage
to grasp
at the little trinkets of time,
and watch the golden hour of memories
play like an endless film
stuck in time
the snow globe
turns warm
from my fingers
clutching it like a lifeline,
and the winter inside
awaits the day it can spring forth
and greet the blooming buds
once again
About this poem
This poem was written in reflection of my inability to meet my friends during the darkest periods of my depression. It reflects how my relationship with time changed with depression. Sometimes, I felt like I was stuck at a point of time while others carried on with life. Sometimes, I lose my concept of time I am stuck in my dark world.
