What Depression Feels Like, a Poem

Wednesday 30th Apr 2025

I descend into myself and find

 

that am full of a darkness that is

alive. Wherever I turn,

 

The light has gone out everywhere.

 

On a table, down some stairs,

stands a cup filled

with dark liquid.

 

I know what it beholds: death.

Sweet, bitter, final.

 

There is no wisdom or questing for life

in this place.

 

All warmth has left the cup

and gone out of me

 

and out and

out and

 

out.

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Tuesday 8th Apr 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
