My Open Blook

I can feel it settle over me, laying heavily upon my shoulders as I try to go about my daily grind. Why now of all times with the holiday season around the corner. As the heavy layer starts to slowly draw me down, I can feel the changes it is bringing to be over my body. While I try to fight against this unnatural weight laid upon me, my body begins to betray me. I can feel my face drawing into a frown more and more. I can feel the lethargy settling in as the weight begins to slow me down. I can feel my stomach shrink from loss of appetite and I reach less and less for food. Not even the chocolate cure holds any temptation over me now. I am loosing myself inexorably to the heavy weight settling in over my shoulders, weighing them down and dragging at me. Play holds no joy and work holds no sorrow. I am ambivalent to everything that is going on around me as I am slowly pulled down to the earth. I will lie here for just a moment to rest. But that moment is stretching, getting away from me. I can't pull myself back up. The weight as put roots down into the ground and I am now held firmly in place. I try to struggle but my thrashing is weak and half hearted. Do I care enough to try to free myself. Maybe just a few more minutes of rest will help. Then I can shake off this shroud of depression.
