A Depressed Mind...
Darkness fills every space in his mind. Numbness has long since replaced the happiness and laughter. Shadows lurk all around hanging on like an early morning mist. Light enters only occasionally bringing with it the yearning for the sun to warm his face. He knows he is in trouble. He doesn't need to be told.
The fog was there before he realized it. It was everywhere and then there was nothing.....Nothing except for the endless falling. If he feels anything, he feels trapped unable to remove the haze and the inability to care. He once prayed for the sun to take away the darkness and give him the ability to feel again, but that was in the early stages. Now, he doesn't feel anything. The demons that once bombarded him are now gone, or at least stepped aside long enough for the cold to take their place.
The doctors tell him that he is ill. The kind of illness no one talks about. The kind of illness where people make jokes about him and whispers behind his back. The kind of illness that brings shame to his family. The kind of illness no one wants. But, he has "it." Whatever "it" is. He has been diagnosed with....a depressed mind.
