Disability and Depression
I don't know
which one
has been
a bigger nemesis
Disability and therapy
Are a lifelong affair
and accepting that fact
Right now
is the most clarity
I've had yet
i can't go back
in time
Because
Therapy
is a one hour exercise
in letting my brain exhale
I'm just finally glad
I'm articulating this
at this moment
it's amazing
what listening
to european football
and music
on in the background
to get me to focus
God is editing
my brain
so I don't
scare you
or myself
wondering
how much
to say
or leave
to the
imagination
the level
of despair
to which
I can go
God happens
to be
The Only One
Who forces me
into the depths
so I don't
meet the abyss
Que belo poema!

I hope that blogger lets me comment this time.
ReplyDeleteDisability (and sometimes its incestuous cousin depression) live with me too.
I try hard not to let them define me.
Hugs.
Oh, I can feel the hurt. I hope you have a great year of breakthroughs that help you with what you are being put through.
ReplyDeleteYour post resonates so well with so many of us! Beautifully penned down the depth and meaning of life!
ReplyDeleteMay God be your solace and your strength, Regine!
ReplyDeleteSo thankful that God gives you this outlet to share your deep thoughts. Writing them down and getting them out of your head/heart can be therapeutic, I would think. It also helps us to know how to pray for you. May the Lord continue to strengthen and keep you day by day.
ReplyDeleteDearest Regine,
ReplyDeleteIndeed, accepting a situation that never can get reversed is tough!
But trusting God, is our ONLY solace and hope.
Hugs,
Mariette

ReplyDeleteDeep thoughts Regine, and all part of growth - it is when you don't/won't examine your thoughts that it becomes dangerous. Acceptance of ones circumstances can be hard, but liberating.
ReplyDeleteStay safe
