    A bad time in life. On and off to this day.

    DEPRESSION, A MILD WORD

     It's with me in the morning
    Throughout the hours of night
    My lifes been built on darkness
    There seems to be no light?
    How do I escape this dreaded dump?
    The walls they are so steep
    And to the floor flat on my face
    Where I begin to weep
    Terror is my outlook
    Fear my o nly speach
    My spirit has been broken
    So it's emptiness I preach
    Doctors, Lawers, friends advice
    They seem so much to care?
    I try to take it to my heart
    Relief I find nowhere
    The Lords my Shepherd I shall not want
    Words I belive are true
    Oh will it happen in my youth
    Before my life is through?

    Dearest Marie. I was unintentionally hurt deep by Jamaina 2 nights ago. It's resolved, but hurt remains. That poem is from the 80's or early 90"s? I have life long depression. I've accepted it, but it's damned hard at times of loss and heart hurt and no getting away from here in 3 years, not 1 night. I know your here for me and that's comforting. The bridge is also and I get occational calls from Mary Terra and a couple Shannie and Terry. If it wasn't for you all, I don't know what would become of me? Very Lovingly,,,Sam. P.S. 98 degrees out here, need to get back to semi cool bedroom.

    I hope your poem is not something about yourself. depression can be overcome. not by medication or hospitalization but by helping the person to look at matters from a different angle. the one word which helps depressed people is "acceptance' and total acceptance of all the feelings you go through. I 've helped people come out of it. thank you.

    Yes ansari. It's about me. I've lived close to 30 years with it and it's untreatable with medications. When I am able to have my fiancee from Philippines at my side it will leave me. I've only known it to leave from loving my mates who all eventually broke my heart and it came back. Tomorrow makes 2 weeks since the sudden loss of my Brother of many years. I loved him next to my Mother who I care for. I not over the pain of his loss. But I'm trying to move forward. I'm certified for counseling even grief and loss, but even councelors grieve. I've accepted I'll live with this, but it's there. Deep at times and normal at others. Thanks and be blessed for your concerns. Sam, songmanpoet.

    Yes it's tough. I've got permanent depression, called severe chronic depression. I't's untreatable. I hope you are well now. Thanks for the rating. Songmanpoet

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
