And then
depression swoops down
unlooked for
A stupid black bat
bleak, blind, and addlepated
Flapping out of its cave and
crashing into everything
useless
making it impossible to think
to move
to do
The ill-thoughts
like splattered guano
encase my brain
in self-pity and pain
so Here I am
trying to smile through it all
through the embarrassment
of this chemical mess
but the leathery wings
and the scrabbling clingy claws
wrinkle my brow
pull down the corners of my soul
and muffle all
laughter light hope
even though I know
the bat
is not there at all

Little black bat of depression:
I don't like you
Fuck off
