Depression, right? At least that’s my interpretation; the constant battle to stay afloat, to appear ‘on top of it all’, the ceaseless struggle.
Very emotively written.
I appreciate your interpretation. The beauty of poetry is that it allows for a spectrum of readings and no two people come away with the same meaning. Interestingly, my perspective in writing this poem is not from a place of depression, but rather a response to a specific adversity that’s been on my mind lately. Either way, it’s tough to rise above obstacles in any sense. Thank you for reading, responding, and contributing!! I love hearing your thoughts!
