Danielle White Poet Rhyme

Robot

Robot-like, I move through life,

I feel no pain, endure no strife.

Each day's the same, each smile is fake,

broken, I no longer break.

I live my lifetime in a daze,

blindly fumble through a haze,

I've never known a day of fun,

I can't remember even one.

All I do is work and sleep,

and pray the Lord my soul to keep.

Brandee Augustus April 15, 2009 at 1:10 PM I once remember feeling the exact same way. Thank God I'm not in that place anymore! Congratulations on placing in Sami's contest! It was well deserved!

Sharon Winter April 15, 2009 at 7:07 AM Very sad and deeply depressing. This hurts me to read. Congrats on your win in Sami's contest. Powerful, well deserved. Love, Shar

Carolyn Devonshire March 2, 2009 at 10:59 AM Danielle, you capture well the feeling of "numbness" we must endure when we find no joy in life. Very profound and thought-provoking! Love, Carolyn

Laura Mckenzie February 25, 2009 at 3:42 PM Its a hard place to be, being depressed but fight to see a glimmer of hope. I trust me I fight it plenty! Great write! Laura :)

Belinda Parish February 25, 2009 at 1:01 PM I think you just described myself. Depression is no fun at all, it takes away all you zest for life and yes, leaves you acting like a robot. A very good write Danielle
