Reflecting on Depression

I dispised my twenties,

The decade of depression.

I can count happy memories on a hand and a half,

And all of them were an escape from the life I lived.

Escaping myself was heaven,

Pouring myself onto paper was an affordable five-minute replacement.

I wrote a lot.

And as ugly as the era was,

Pain paints a beautiful picture.

Perhaps that is why PAINT is an art.

The art of survival.
