Ten Percent

Fry

I am only 10% depressed
Most of the time I am fine
Or even exuberant
I laugh
Smile
Work
Play
For days at a time
It is funny how you can go
From be a super hero
To super sad
Fried
And frazzled
Some days it is like a
Slow
Gradual
Falling
To the bottom of that deep dark
Well again
Where you feel yourself
Slowly losing grip
On the precipice
Of reality
Other times
It is like getting knocked out
In the first round
In the first few seconds
Of a boxing match
And you want to scream
“Unfair!”
And you are this dumb robot
With a malfunctioning program
But most of the time I am fine
I am only 10% depressed.
