Depressed

Christina8

Among all the love I write about,

there is one thing that I hate.

It's name is depression. I have it.

One thing I don't appreciate!

 

I need the sun, but a barren

snowy landscape I find.

With icy conditions, trapped inside,

positive thoughts I try to put into mind.

 

I'm not always depressed but when

I am, writing clears my thoughts.

And at the end of the day, I'm lucky to

be surrounded by people who love me lots!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Depression was worse when I was younger, now I think I have more coping mechanisms. There are still days, mostly in winter, when I need to lean on my hubby for support.

      Instead of focusing on negatives, I've found that yoga and poetry help quite a bit. And yes, my hubby is a lifesaver. Thanks for your kind reply. Hugs-Christina

      So sorry about the condition. It is common and I know people who have it. I am glad you are thinking of the great things you have in life, and I am glad that writing helps! Great poem to express this condition Christina!

            Ah depression is a terrible affliction so I feel for you but hey - we've always got MPS to cheer us up.

            • Christina8

              Yes, I've felt better since I've had MPS to write and meet fellow members, Thanks for your review!

              oh you have related it perfectly in these lines ~ the depression that the cold and dark long winter can bring. we lived in vermont and sometimes the windows only had once inch of light at the top ~ the rest was solid snow. we had to take an axe and chop ice off of our garage floor. and now we live in park city ~ a ski resort. we have been locked inside for days with heavy snow. we had a brief reprieve when we visited arizona at the end of december. it was like a miracle hit with the sun, sandals, shorts and hiking! but you bring sunshine with your golden pen :0)

                Ive been there
                Bought the tee shirt
                I'm still there on occasion
                But as you say writing
                Really helps... talking
                Is another big help
                Of mine.... don't let
                The bugger get you
                Down....

                  Expressed awesome. Depression is there in the world but after watching my mom treating a patient simply by bringing the one God in her heart and going off meds it made me realise that God is the best cure for it.
                  I like how u ended it positively. Feel happy for u. Kudos.
                  So nice to read from u again.
                  Happy new year.
