Message To Depression

Through a shivery night, everything had changed. Our love – the kind of love everyone wishes for had been burned – turned to ashes it shatters me to see you going it break me to be wandering around without you, to be finally chasing my dreams. We were wander-lusters with dreams of growing together. Since the night you had left, I been sitting in a corner that had never been touched by the sun. You broke me more than you realize, Even when you’re not here, I’m still broken, irreparable. You got me – the best part of me the part that was full of hopes and fantasies. You had torn me, yet, I’m still surviving yes, I’m still surviving. Opportunities waiting for me to seize, but I’m dreadful that the moment I grasp them, they turn to dust. You had made me fearful of living, and with every day I became more terrified of stepping outside, Into the world, Into Earth. I’m sheltered in a room, with walls made of glass. I must stand and run, breaking the shelter I had been captivated inside. I must start now, before it’s too late. You’re finally gone, and now I shall start living again, one step at a time, but I’ll start living. Mahmoud Elhadary

Mahmoud, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
