Seasonal depression.  
    Absence of light,    darkness  
takes account over too much of our 
mind.    Albeit temporary, for a time.
     Disruptive.  
      Denigrating. 
   Deceptive days so short,    nights  
become long,    we are anything  
    but strong.    SAD.     It is real. 
Random thoughts stain our psyche 
like salt on the sidewalk.  
     Undeserved. 
       Unfulfilling. 
   All we know is all we feel and it  
     is not good.      Even confusion  
        would seem more satisfying.
