Hunkering Down

I’m going to withdraw and

go inside for a while.

Hunker down,

go quiet,

so that again, I will see a smile.

I’m going inside,

where the light cannot reach.

If only for a moment

so that maybe

I can have something to teach.

The shadows are casting

a glance.

Beckoning to take hold.

So I have to do this

to give myself a chance.

Depression can be so

lonely and dark.

Laying in bed,

lights out,

waiting to see a spark.

xxx

Wrapping up in darkness,

retracting from the world.

You all carry on regardless,

while im under the blankets

tight, warm and curled.

xxx

I know the veil will lift.

The sun will shine once more.

Just bear with me

while my heart closes,

because soon, it will pour…
