how many ways can you
disguise depression before
it folds back on you
like an injured toenail?
echoes in the pond
ripple only so far before
a tidal wave falls

    I love how you ground this by relating this to an injured toenail and ripples in a pond. Really brings this home.

      Thanks, Bob. I’ll have to keep that element of grounding in mind for future writing.
