Excellent A short poem about battling depression. The Unseen Battle by Fiona Rawlins Loop Poetry Contest contest entry

I must get out of bed Bed, where everything is fine Fine, but this fine is fake Fake like the calm in my head My body aches Aches to be out of bed Bed, the gilded cage of my own making Making it so emotion never wakes Why can’t I move Move even just one foot Foot over foot and I could run Run to- nothing, I will never improve
