Misconception
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

WELCOME REEO ~ Thanks for your first poem whose content is indeed very depressive and reflects the title. It is a free "verse poem" devoid of rhyme and rhythm (but not devoid of reason) but it has great flow and just gushes of the page ! We can empathise because we all sink into depression from time to time and some of the points you mention will resonate with your readers. I like to comment to show I have not only read your poem but also marked learned and inwardly digested it. Depression can pass and I have friends who almost "dropped off the edge but have come back again. Your last couplet is chilling and describes a state of continuous depression I hope you found writing it "cathartic". "I guess when you've been in the darkness for so long ~ then you start to prefer it ~ What a way to live ~ or rather ~ what a way to die. Thanks for having the courage to share ~ Yours BRIAN
