Winter Blue

Submitted by Depressed 1 on Thu, 2022-12-15 03:22

Enter winter here the snow comes

Covers over me with the doldrums

Outside, people having cold, fun

Inside I am alone, cold from the Sun

People eating roasted chestnuts with cheer

I am by ashes, just sitting alone right here

Drinking eggnog, waiting for Santa to appear

I am just trying to keep my sanity near

Colored lights and appetites filled with glee

Hunger and darkness are my company

I will just hibernate until winter is through

To me, winter has always been the color blue

Fits nicely with your developed style. I don’t do well in winter myself. I’m currently trying some new habits like eating breakfast. Seems weird but I skipped breakfast quite a bit in favor of like a pot of coffee. I’m finding it helpful. I’ve cut down on coffee a bit in the past few weeks and I’m less irritable which is also unexpected. I figured my family would have an intervention to get back on coffee immediately. I hear ya about that seasonal affect disorder. I’m thinking about one of those lights you sit in front of. Anyway, great job as usual and think of winter as a time to reflect and reinvent rather than the yearly die off. I suppose it couldn’t hurt.

Good one,
Tim
