The Genius of Depression



You are not doomed and gloomed

You are on an expedition

Carrying hefty equipment

Complying with the commission

The road is rigid and ruggedly resting

Sometimes there is no road at all

So many hills, so many pills

Not one familiar joy

Feeling every numbing sensation

Walking into the land of damnation

Nobody has ever seen nor heard of

Spread with seas of tears and trees of fears

but you are there with your microscope

Magnifying the bitter phenomena

Observing, postulating and experimenting

Exploring the unknown, turning off the oblivion

You need a reason to struggle, they keep repeating

Unaware of your daily finding

Depths of heart you drowned in

then back to the shore again

With a new view for the other end

A heavy burden of discovery

Not a single soul with you could carry

It was your own call of duty

Now you cannot report

and if you complain, they get bored

Genius feelings are transforming you

Words cannot describe nor can actions convey


but it is transcending you

Taking humanity some stage new

Through day you are blocked and at night weary

Oh what a breakthrough! Made you real and revolutionary
