I wrote this poem a couple of years ago...and I thought I would stick it on this site on the basis that someone might find something in it for them.
The poem basically tries to explain the size and shape of a depressive, low mood and the feelings it produces.
I hope it doesn't fall into the doggerel or 'self-indulgent twaddle' category.
Sheephead.
LOW
Low is like......
Low life,
Low energy,
A low-watt bulb.
Low is lost in thought
And slow in deed.
Low has no
Particular place to go.
It takes its time
And travels
Only at one speed.
Low is where the heart is;
A comfy fit,
An easy chair -
It asks no questions...
Has no care.
Low is not gold,
Nor silver,
It is base metal-plated.
Its ring is tinny and crass.
Low is what the cattle do-
the indulgent, the defeated.
It is the braying of an ass.
Still I sit and wonder...
...if they'll put me out to grass.

I think that this is a very deep poem. It is amazing to see how intune you were with your own feelings at the time. Congrats on a beautiful poem.
