Depressing Dysfunction

Categories: Bereavement, Depression, Widowhood

I feel like a nobody
Of no consequence
Life is so meaningless
I really feel deeply depressed.

Why am I in this pit again?
Is the question I ask myself
When I have so much to make me glad
A home, food, family and wealth.

Is it because someone isn’t here
Walking with me by my side
Helping me overcome problems and pain
That I’m swimming against the tide?

Yes, I think this is probably the reason
Because half of me has gone
And I’m only functioning now in part
Doing everything alone.
