Yesterday Mixed in with Today

I felt like Superwoman yesterday

conquering one task
after another
with little rest
and with no end in sight

after crashing down
with barely any strength left
I had to face the fact that any superhero
within me had vanished

as I collapsed into my bed
I couldn’t see myself ever getting up again

the morning came like a thief
and robbed me of the sweet relief
that sleep had gifted me with
the night before

depression loomed over me
and I thought to myself, “no, not again!”

I took a long bath
then fed myself spiritually

shortly after
I felt replenished
and was able to face
the day once again

depression does not have to win
