This is close to home for me. I have had severe depression all my life but I handled it. The my wife died almost 5 years ago and wham, I was like what you wrote.
What you call the balance, I call surfing.
I say that its not a matter of winning the war, rather its win the battle. I also say I had to learn to surf the waves between high and low.
I am impressed with how you have captured these emotions. very well done

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
