depression-1-1

It was just an urge that he’d acted on, he’d punched the window and now he was standing in a pool of shards. He was looking for any other feeling besides the feeling of emptiness that has consumed him for years now. This was not a good day for him; he had better days when he felt like he had some control over his life. But today was different, today was just black.

He woke up this morning with emptiness around him. The feeling of grief consuming him even though he didn’t lose any loved one.
