Reflections and Poetry to Ponder

My Poetry Can Best Be Described As A Personal Journey Lived Through Depression. From Childhood Through Adulthood I Have Existed With Depression. I Have Always Enjoyed Reading And So With Reading The Idea Of Writing Poetry Came To Mind. Being Able To Express My Emotions Has Played A Big Part On My Road To Recovery. Seeing People Like Myself Has Helped Me Give More Understanding Of How Depression Affects The Mind. Through My Poetry I Have Been Able To Talk Of These Emotions Through Faith In Others Who Have Helped Me And Through My Faith In God Who Has Never Left Me. I Try To End My Poetry Not In Negativity But With A Purposeful Emotion That Will Give The Reader Hope A Hope That He Or She Will Someday Reach That Pinnacle In Their Lives That Will Help Them To See Beyond That Hopelessness Of Depression.
