    Am I

    Am I in a state of depression?
    Am I paying for my sins and transgressions?
    Why am I constantly trying to turn the hands of time?
    Am I lost in a world without hope?
    Can I deal with pain, am I able to cope?
    These feelings I have continuously drive me up the wall
    The problems I’ve faced, seemed to have been 10 feet tall
    Am I crying out to a deaf ear?
    Am I staring down at the face of fear?
    Am I listening to an unsure voice?
    By not doing all three, do I make the right choice
    One day I will find out what is wrong
    No longer will you hear me singing this song
    In my many hours of depression
    I found the knowledge and inspiration
    I know I’m not in a state of depression
    I know I’m not paying for my sins or transgressions
    I now know what I needed to find
    And yes I found it, a peace of mind
    I’m not lost in the world, because it’s filled with hope
    I’ve been down before, so I’ll make it, I’ll cope
    The feelings I’ve had have been thrown away
    The problems I’ve had didn’t occur today
    Now I feel as if I’m worry free
    And this is the way life should be
    But I know that problems will arise
    But I won’t let them be my demise

    Yes we all go through moods of depression,and sometimes real depression. if you learn to accept the unnatural feelings you go through when in depression and keep in mind that it is only temporary it will go away. Pour out your heart. One word which will change a person is the word "acceptance" of all the discomforts which go through your head. thank you, a nice poem a 10 from me.

    This is a very good poem with a nice twist. It started well and one can easily judge the mood of the writer. Good imagery. Altogether, great poem.

    This poem is the best poem I have read and it describes how I feel and how I hope things turn out for me. Thank You

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
