I lost June and July

Need to benefit from August 

I knew exactly what she meant

Because months spent struggling with depression or other mental health issues

Are like months we lose

We do the minimum possible 

We struggle a Lot

We don’t enjoy life 

Creativity drops

Projects come to a stand still

And new ones never start

Lost months 

I wonder if they are totally lost 

Or if they make us aware of what we’ve got

Once the depression lifts

Life is brighter

Our laughter is more genuine

Projects can start

And we have a new lease on life

All of this doesn’t mean though that I appreciate the depressed times
