Depression and Hope	I'm a teen struggling with (often intense) depression. For months, it's been a struggle but I've gradually found hope. I use poetry as a way to let the pain inside out, rather than doing something dangerous. Because I'm going through this, and understand, I'm wondering if there are others like me here, who want to share, or talk?

"The Garden of Prosperine" Best Poem Ever	Alright, so while I can never pick a favourite movie or book, I can truthfuly say that my absolute favourite poem is "The Garden of Proserpine" by Charles Algernon Swinburne. Does anyone else know this poem? Or if you just looked it up now, what did you think? http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/174555 edited by KarlinKJ on 12/1/2012

Elusive Patience	I've never dated before but finally, I found a guy that I liked, who liked me back. He's very sweet and I've never had such a connection with someone before like that. We nearly got to the dating stage, when suddenly, out of no where, he said he wasn't ready to fully commit to a relationship because of trust issues. While I'm glad he didn't keep it going till way later, I'm just so frustrated right now, because we both still have feelings for each other and it's painfully obvious, and yet nothing is really happening. We're "just friends", which I'm thankful for, but some days I feel like I shouldn't even wait around for him. Oh, what do I do?

Wilted Rose	It was something beautiful, like a quickly budding rose. We found it among the thorns, struggling to reach the sunlight. We gave the flower so much care with soil and shade and gentleness. We watered the flower, so happily, almost too happily, too enthusiastic. We were a whirlwind, destructive despite all our best intentions. I think that the flower drowned. We just used too much water, and the flower quickly faded. We killed it. We, together, now have no purpose.
