In the interests of uncluttering my desktop, a collection of quotes that I have saved in a thousand various .rtf files.

This has been one of my favorite poems about depression for some time.

I read it for the first time a couple weeks ago; it's so comforting, like a mantra. I love the listing of things to count: "Measure the walls. Count the ribs. Notch the long days." It reminds me of something I wrote for Oz, when one of the characters is in solitary confinement and he's reading a list of ingredients aloud to keep himself company.

I think I read that one! A ficlet, right? And liked it, though I've never watched the show.

Aww, yes, thank you! I don't think you would like the show. :P
