The Truth About D
I don’t disguise
my depression
I wear it proudly
and with defiance
It is the only
thing in my closet
that always looks
good on me.

Love a Good Mystery?
How you captured the emotion, just right! I have that one in my closet too!

lol. (tongue firmly planted in cheek) i think we all have a bit of drama queen in ourselves, don’t you? and it is funny if you can step away from yourself long enough to see it.
sarah
I strongly object to the idea that we all have drama queens within ourselves - unless of course you think that it suits me…….
I absolute love this one, not because it’s necessarily a happy one but it’s just in one word brilliant! Somehow I can see Elizabeth Taylor acting these out…… in black and white of course….
lol. i remember those black and white commercials liz did - wasn’t it for perfume or something? i wish. thanks spaz, you’re a doll.
sarah
Only onen earring for that frustrated look (beautiful, actually!) on that cute little girl’s face!
Great choice of a picture!
Bring back so may memories! Not of frustration, of course. I have a small casket with a big lock for that (which I tried to lose in the sea off Okinawa last week!).
Cheers,
Robert-Gilles
it is a precious picture, isn’t it? i like your idea of a casket sent to the sea containing your frustrations. nice visual.
bonjour!
sarah
Perhaps you need a new wardrobe or a spring cleaning. I am going to have to be honest with you, seems like you’ve been undergoing a reflection of some sort, and it’s like you were asking me, what are you trying not to say? I am thinking once the B is over, you will feel some better. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not taking you too seriously, but I will say that I’m a writer too and I’ve read the stuff you’ve written lately and that is all I need to make the comment I just made, not that I EVER self reflect…
cheers kiddo, kim
oh sure, i definitely think that poetry is writer reflection for the most part. truly. but in this case, it was just me making fun of me - probably for being overly reflective. make sense? lol.
sarah
makes total sense, and sometimes at the end of the day all you can do is laugh at yourself because you do get over yourself after a period of time. i am thinking it is time for another short story, got any good ones?
you’re funny. i’ll make a deal with you - i’ll write a story if you do. mostly, i’ve just been so short on time lately - i’ve not been able to sit down long enough to get something out. what’s happening with emily?
sarah
Aww. . .depression stinks. I hate being depressed, but some how my friends always seem to cheer me up, or sing “Grey Skies Will Turn To Blue, Just Put On A Happy Face!!” And I laugh at it. Hmm, my closet is full of polo’s and sweatshirts. And I think a soccer ball.
~H
it’s great to have friends who know how to bring you out of the funk, isn’t it? that’s one of the best things about life if you ask me.
sarah
I have suffered from depression for most of my adult life. I doesn’t look particularly good on me, but hell, I’m stuck with it, so there it is.
-Smith
have you tried wearing it with pearls?
sarah
Hey Sarah, you have written down ur emotions so beautifully.
Take care
thank you puja - and welcome. i will have to come by your place sometime soon and take a peek.
sarah
it would take a lot more than pearls to make my depression look good. You might say I’ve battled it to a draw.
-Smith
i understand smith. i was just trying to make you laugh.
sarah
Oh, I know. It’s ok, really. But it’s a lifelong battle that you never really win, but you can lose big time. At best you battle it to a stalemate. Good topic for a post, come to think of it.
Hey there Sarah,
love the picture! It’s also the face I make lately every time I open your blog and find the same picture starting at me.
Hm, means I’ve gotten used to reading your beautiful, inspiring lines. No pressure, but it’s been too long since the last ones and I am apparently addicted
.
BTW any idea where NH went?
hi spaz,
sorry to be disappointing you but lately i’ve had so much going on, i’ve not had much time to devote to blogging. even though i keep meaning to get there, i never seem to arrive. i will try to do better. soon.
i do have an idea about NH - i think something in her personal life and taken her away for a while. i say this because i vaguely remember seeing something on her blog - but i can’t remember what it is. have you emailed her?
sarah
Today I am depressed, looked down and realized I am wearing black, I didn’t even do it intentionally.
it’s funny how our instincts take over when we aren’t looking, isn’t it? i hope the depression lifts.
sarah
Actually I have, no response though…… hm…. I don’t want to sound pushy either, kinda interesting that I would want to make sure that people I don’t even know are ok, not that I really could do anything about it if they weren’t.
It’s none of my business either way, but I just have to do what my inside tells me and trust that it’s ok, as silly or strange it might look to others.
Having said all that, you are NOT disappointing, that’s not at all what I was saying. (ok, I did, but what I meant was a compliment and not a complaint).
well i think it is sweet that you are concerned - i’m sure she thinks so too. be patient.
oh, i know you weren’t complaining and you were complimenting, no worries.
sarah
Dear Sarah!
Greetings!
What has happened to “Talking to the rain”?
Cheers,
Robert-Gilles
bon jour robert! i think sometimes she takes time off. try again in a few days.
sarah
Very honest.
hello zf,
lol - i was making fun of myself that day. the picture inspired me.
