A Past Experience

I get rage from this cage I am in 
People judge me not knowing where I've been 
Yet they have the right to tell me that I've "sinned"
What about you?
Judgement for the mentality I haven't meant
You have no idea how many nights that I've spent 
In denial and depression
Questioning "Wouldn't it just be easier if I just went?"
I wish more people would understand the consuming depression 
When I see my reflection and then the expression on my face
My world was a dark, dark place;

Nice Rant, Jared, 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 <-@
