Depression Is...
 Oct 2018 Umi

Like an old friend inviting you to come inside.
Familiar. Comforting.
It will grasp you in its arms and hold you close;
And when you're ready to leave, it wont let you go.
You will beg and plead to be happy,
and it will put up a fight.
It will make you think that the only way to escape it is to take your own life.
If you are lucky, you can break free;
and it will sit and watch you from afar.
Calling your name.
Welcoming you back into it's arms.
It will intrude your thoughts.
Make you think you are worthless.
That you're better off dead.
Just keep telling yourself that it's all in your head.
Keep moving. You will get far.
Depression is not who you are.
DISCLAIMER: This is only from my personal point of view and how my battle with depression has been. Even though I am trying to recover, the battle gets very difficult for me sometimes and I have to remind myself that I am not my mental illness. My mental illness does not define me.

(Emperor  Kaguya  Plain-Can be the messengers or both Emperor and Kaguya)

I don't know exactly why...
But I have fallen in love with you!
This love will persist for a thousand years...
My heart dances and sings odes of joy!

'Sigh' Many men have tried to captivate me,
Please tell me exactly why,
The emperor has called for me.

It's needless to say why...
But I have fallen for you!
I shall not be swayed..
So let me take your hand!

I cross the fate and meridian, sleep is taken from me.
I cross the end of utopia, For no other reason!
You are so slim and elegant against the moon...
Selfish little princess,You are so charming!

'Phew' That was long, hope everyone is o-...
They're gone!? All that's left is this Japanese candy...
How humiliating... I'm depressed but please accept this candy!

A Japanese sweet bread!? I have to taste it!?
Impossib-... Oh what wonderful flavor!

I don't know exactly why but I've fallen for you!
You are the most clever, most beautiful, most talented...
So I'll give you a big treat. Four elements!

'Aahh' I can't sleep because of that bread...
Huh!? Sweet bean bread!?
Surely... This feeling!

Well well, the result went well, just as planned...
I'll do this and that to Kaguya...  Oh Emperor!
                              (Just her delusion)

I burn this elixir of life and smell it.
My heart is full of you... What should I do?
I'll tell you now straight out...
Do you want to marry me?

I cross the heaven, earth and a loop line. Sleep is taken from me.
I dive into this storm from a boring, false freedom!

"You cannot princess!" "You must return to the moon!"
"You do not belong here!"

I am so slim and elegant against the moon...
I am sorry but I am not your lady...

"Return now!!!" Don't wanna!
                       (The two ran away)

It's so ridiculous to search for a freedom that's been in front of me...
It's just like a bird that jumps into another cage to be captured.

I know that it's a cliché conflict
But now I'm all serious about you with whole my soul.
I'm serious...

I finally cross the fate and meridian, sleep is taken from me...
I cross the end of utopia, For no other reason!
You are so slim and elegant against the moon...
You are so noble... To you no other can compare
Selfish little princess, You are so charming!
credits to Kaguya-hime, taketori overnight sensation and all the people behind these... Peace!
There are hearts that break
in silence, with tears
that nobody can see.

So maybe,
                just maybe…


Some tears demand
to be written by the poet's pen,
so others can find beauty
in that which makes us cry.

Maybe,
           just maybe…


The tears of the poets' pen,
unveils the beauty
of love and pain
giving comfort to others
that they’re not alone.

And then again
maybe,
          just maybe…


There will be times
that nobody
will understand your feelings…

Write them anyway
because they are still
so **** beautiful!!*

The unvoiced and unacknowledged fear of being broken
On the verge, if we focus we can see it when we’re hopeless
Every single soul knows this

But when we teach our life lessons it always goes unspoken
We’ll get there when we get there let’s just have peace for the moment
Fracture a piece of the moment

Our contentment is fleeting
Shake the grips of your vices, where they’re biting you're bleeding
A stable mind depleting, your convictions are receding

Floating in a gentle haze
Where all you hear is true
You’ve widdled yourself to nothing, so what could you rebuke?

The Sway

Cataclysmic act of craving;
Driven by the motive of unknowingness,
Those made of the urges
May befriend the style of heaving,
longing, surging, sighing,moaning, knowing, embracing,
Till the matter becomes an acquaintance
Of sour taste, however intimidating.
Those of the taste shall still be unknowingly,
For the oblivion is its lifelong fool,
For thee head either towards a truth or hither a reasonable rue.

Beware the promise of the sky!
Where it shelters both the moon and the stardust;
However the course it cries,
It fosters and cloisters the air with seemingly glitter at night.
Though the gush never sweeps away the moon and the sun,
The leaves will still sway melancholically,
however tremble, with which they die.
They own thereof rhythm
Of the notes, strung by the wind.

May thy sea heave away by the sun,
Then 'tis her feet thumping by the moon.
(As it wears a repute of its own undying gloom.)
Stand thy ground, then dance hither their gravity
As you crave beyond thy own truth.
Those of the desire,
Aught to drown in a minute shade of its own very blue.
Then,
They may befriend the rules of heaving, crying, trying, accepting,
And the art of letting the flow, hopelessly and incessantly, in.

Once again her ashen crust cleaves , for its once aught to be sought.
In thou curiosity, heft the crude mud, brief a dawn to
the gravity of an intricate craft,
Where thee defy and 'tis a waking howl
Where a flock betrays its trace, flees behind a fowl.
Fowl, shaped upon by the call,
Leads to a world of faux strays,
Where the bodies sway under the moon
But sleeps upon the day.
Nocturnal breaths intertwine around,
Welcoming them into a warm embrace:
Where it is born 'dreamily' to eternally haze.
In no time, the march creates a howl too
That obeys the dance of calamity,
But her refusal hides under a tongue
For it is a refuge, kept under the safety.
After all, it's matriarchy, crumbling a feet of the tantrum,
The wind guffaws, sways to the luminous olive trees;
Where a nest of refugees crawl upon,
Chirping freely to the motion of adversary,
to a moment of cleft.
Thus, it's the mother nature that heaves above all
As if blowing a floral and once again, livid breath.
In its deed, she incessantly cries fugues,
As if a virtuoso morphed upon the death.
Upon lulling the sweet mortality into clay,
Then it strolls around, surreptitiously,the plenitudes of ****** heft,
then heading hither a flaw;
When the day and night sleeps, until the rituals nudges, an absolute,
No sense.

Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

A gap-toothed
grin—
maple syrup
skin,

and eyes
alight,
all blue and
white;

beyond the
grasp
of
prejudice,

your laugh is
truth—
I’ll follow
you.
