Ode to the blues

[botias]

I have been very angry and depressed for the past 5 or 6 days. I can feel it hurting my body, constricting me; I feel like an old woman. But I don't want to unwind it and set aside just yet; it holds me upright, gives me dignity in fear. Keeping it has already edged into self-indulgence I think, time to let it go. The prospect brings relief finally, but no enthusiasm. Yet.
