The Ones With No 'Plan B'

The Ones With No 'Plan B'

A Poem by Kathrine Rethorn
"

This is one of my few poems that come from experience. Depression isn't easy to deal with, and trying to cure yourself is even worse.

"
Compacted powdery bliss
that slides down her throat
coating her thoughts
killing the cloaked figures
that hover through her
desolated cerebellum 

But when the pills fail
the world is dark
her mind is frail
she falls apart
when the pills fail
she is empty

Like a quilt 
with missing stitches
she’s held together
by fraying thread

A sinking ship
no hole can be found
no trouble to fix
but still, the water is filling 
pooling, drowning  
the ones on board
