Does anyone else feel like this?

“Why is light given to those in misery and life to the bitter of soul?

To those who long for death which does not come?

Who search for it more than hidden treasure?

Who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave?

For sighing comes to me instead of food.

My groans pour out like water.

What I feared has come upon me.

I have no peace. No quietness.

I have no rest, but only turmoil.”

While I appreciate the poetic nature of this, I do my best not to relate. If you can relate, I hope it passes and you are able to find something more worthwhile than seeking out what is already inevitable.

You know they say depression is a blessing in disguise - in that it helps us to slow down our quickened minds and refocus. I`d say that depression points to the need for change. Can you change anything to make your life better South? And I mean LIFE. If not then perhaps it is a matter of acceptance. Look for the tiniest of things to be grateful about. Your poem is expressive and can be a good form of release. You are here for a reason because you matter and no-one can argue with that. You have the chance to make a difference if you haven`t already. Not sure of your capabilities but I think you could do well in the artistic field be it painting, music, writing etcetera. They are all ways to be expressive and could help you a lot. Immerse yourself in nature where you can. I find the birds and the flowers outdoors can have a wonderful calming effect. Take care x
