Wysteria was the first and the last

At the dawn of the morning, dark and cold of night

It lingers, like a forgotten relic of the past

In the next, you know this isn’t right

Now you are anew, the wind a pleasant draft

The birds are chirping, a few aflight

Still you sit, your breathing steadfast

You wonder. Is this really alright?

Nothing to be done, this is nonpast.

All you have is tomorrow, and tonight

If they knew, they’d be aghast

Heavy sighs, you think you finally see the light


The author's comments:

This poem centers around my mental health. I've been diagnosed with depression since I was 12 and have always struggled with it in my day to day life. I've often found myself romanticizing and mourning the past despite how awful a time it may have been for me. This describes my journey of accepting change and wanting to get better.
