You Must Decide

Poem Commentary

This is something I wrote years ago-although I still deal with depression-things are better-MOSTLY

You Must Decide

I fear loneliness
it stalks me in the night
I need sustenance
to make it alright
My soul is nauseous
My heart bleeds inside
living is only slow suicide
Think of it this way
it's the way that I can...
If life is only pain
and death could
make you live again
Then could it be true?
living is slow suicide
you must decide

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
