Expressing My Dilema

From happiness to sorrow from frustrated to pleased another new tomorrow and another emotion teased Cheerful, loving, passionate despairing, desperate, used First I'm feeling confident the next I feel abused The words cannot express the dilemma deep inside and I cannot confess although God knows I've tried the feelings that keep taunting through day and in my sleep a feeling more like haunting harried, scared and deep Depression is the monster that chains me in the dark and makes me feel inferior and silences the lark Expression is the key to releasing these dark chains but I just don't seem to see the light to end these rains

Sounds like a manic attack... such a jumble of emotions with no resolution. Well done!

Trudy very touching poem. The "Eagles" have an old song. Part of the lyrics says, "So often times it happens, that we live our lives in chains, and we dont even know we have the key" Do whatever it takes to turn that key. This is a sad but great write. Its so true for so many of us.. God bless you Tudy and comfort your heart. Michael

Your rhyming expression is incredible. Subject matter is easy to relate to. Though different for everyone, we all have our darkness, as we all have our light. Hoping your days are mostly bright. Yes, I agree, expression is key. Love, Shar
