Limbs are torn
While suffering in a solitary state
I hobble by with whatever strength I have left
My fighting spirit temporarily broken
Until I can walk again
I remain speechless for days
Until hope from unlikely places comes in
However, this help had ulterior motives
I wanted to feel and to be human
Even when I feel like a machine
This fighting spirit needs to be revived
Very visual moments on how depression feels.

Thanks, Kimchisama! It’s great hearing back from you. I’m glad you liked the poem. Did also get the anime reference in this piece?

From the anime I’ve seen I would guess Dororo but it could span across to something like Nezuko from Demon Slayer.

I haven’t seen those series yet. The answer is actually Texhnolyze.

I hear you … loud and clear. I was in that place recently, and likely will be again. Good poem, my friend.
