The Frequencies Of Depression
I want to enter your mind and experience the frequencies of the world the way you do
light,
vibrations,
chemical signals in your head
chaos,
order,
and then chaos again
Is the silence of this room that deafening?
or not loud enough
Is the emptiness you feel comforting?
or unbearable
I want to feel what you felt
when you told me that you wanted to kill yourself
The time in our heads is quite lonely so I thought you could use a friend
If the visible spectrum is too narrow to find any beauty
Let's paint the sea red
So we can talk about wavelengths under a pink sky
If the air oscillations are too violent to be deemed melodies
Let's dance with the noise
and let's cry in silence
If you wish you were an invisible artist
Let's disappear in the light
And let's write poetry in complete darkness
I'm not saying it's a matter of perspective
but sunsets were meant to be viewed
I'm not saying it gets better
but we could go and pet some cats
I'm not saying this poem gets you
but it doesn't have to
It's just that this world is light,
vibrations,
and the signals in your heads
It's love,
death,
and then love again
frequencies,
memories,
and maybe some bad thoughts
Please remember you are not alone
