A Poem about Depression

[Lou_Lou_Bell]

                   Depression

Depression comes like darkness falling.

Taking willing souls like rivers flowing.

Slowly consuming like big fires burning.

When hope is lost our mind is faltering.

Turning minds into raging kaos; a warning.

Somewhere deep, dim light's still glowing.

Take one more step, just keep on going.

The mind revives with desire and longing.

With hope filled promises and future showing.

Just dont give up without ever knowing!

Hi Loulou

Very good. We have a poetry corner section here on this forum. I've printed several of my poems there.

I can only write poetry when I'm emotional which used to be more often than now.

Keep writing, it helps one to cleanse their mind.

Hi White Knight

Thanks; I used to write a lot in my younger years and it has been good to put things back into perspective.  I have written a few others but they are about Aspergers (my son is an Aspie) and I'm recently diagnosed as an Aspie too!

So much of my stress, anxiety and depression relates to my identity and things that have happened in my past life and it is all starting to make sense now (being an Aspie)!

Its nice to be Different and not Defective and there is a place for everyone in this World!

Cheers
