Poetic Depression

Does a poet also suffer from depression?
Lives in perplexity, exhaustion!
And groans in the pain of mental death!

To me-
Poetry is a spontaneous life partner,
An indicator of purity, a prophet of insightfulness 

To me-
Poetry is the panacea for forgetting sorrow,
The happiness of earthly sympathy

Intuition and wisdom are the forerunners of poetry
In the midst of which self-realization is complete
He is complete in himself.
And that's complete in own-self
Does he ever suffer from depression?

Wow. I've heard this idea expressed many times but never in such a thoughtful way. Wonderful. Have a great day.

Depression can prey on anyone, no matter what weapons you are equipped with. Admit it, be aware of it when it flows through your veins. That way you get to know everything about it, and you can work our way out of it.
