Depression

Depression is my only song
Transgression with poetic verse
Nonaggression where it may belong
Suppression of feelings of self worth

Days I have spent locked in my mind
Ways to escape these feelings I do not crave
Praise my ways to have my shadows defined
Raise me from the confines of the depraved

This captures how I've felt when I'm depressed, very moving and profound-

Thank God for poetry when we get into a rut, and SHARING poetry is even better. Keep on putting your feelings to paper, Christopher. Well done.
