my existential depression


existential depression maybe 

unconscious informational overwhelm, 

leaking into a conscious process buildup,

where by I get no recognition

out of what appears to be 

cognitively happening.

there is an emotional calling

for deep insight to register

as observational and named.

but the volume of depth is massive. 

there is no penetrative clarity forthcoming.

nothing registers in recognition terms.

the perception is arduously unfulfilled

and a feeling state emerges 

with a vast emptiness as its fill.

there is an unidentifiable 

emotional heaviness,

like feeling-labored

in a different kind of gravity circumstance.

not hard on the body

but by conscious awareness,

a labor as if a long endured traveling 

under a water-weight existence.

time is oppressive. 

next thoughts have to share their space

with a larger occupancy of the unknowable,

like a blindspot made evident

but still unseeable in resolve. 

it is a presence 

that consumes 

most of the metaphorical viable air.

it is incessant in a closing-in sort of way,

like a coming to full-term

but not knowing that process in advance.

just being in and aware of it

as it is happening,

without timeline measures to work with.

it feels involuntary but ongoing anyway.

the awareness is a form of capture, 

happening from within there.

I watch and wonder as if a witness to,

but not know what it all means in process.

feel like I am astutely rambling

without a destination clear in my mind.

it is a phase, in a sense,

can pass without resolution 

or conclusions made.

I am aware of the cloud of it thereafter.

no wiser but cognizant 

of its appearance for then.

not sure what to have as a reaction,

curious but unclear,

relieved but deeply interested.

want to go back but better equipped.

not sure of, 

if there are outcomes yet undisclosed,

transitory but penetrative in nature.

life is this self experiment,

open-ended as if ongoing . . .
