False Agony

Loneliness encompasses my heart
Questions of what does this all mean
Fill my head with confusion
Joyfulness evades me
Morning is the worst
Wake with despair
Sadness wins
Until
Change

[FJ Davis]

Stunning little poem!
For what it's worth, there was a period during my thirties when I suffered from profound depression. My soul felt like a flickering pilot light; threatening, at any second, to go out. What eventually saved me, was hard physical work--work that caused me to break a sweat. Slowly, my eyes began, once again, to exhibit life; a sense of normality--of being human--returned to my life.
No pills; no counseling--except, of course, for prayer.
Obviously, EM, your poem is thought-provoking.

I think it has a lot of room for expansion. It is decent, but it can be amazing if worked upon.

This is a Nonnet so it can't be expanded in this form...... HOWEVER, my idea writing poems is to be able to move into chapters from them... so I am intrigued. All ideas welcome!!

I can feel you struggle

[Shimmerbliss/CAF]

Well expressed, my favorite so far. You capture it well and leave it once again with your determination to overcome.

[EileenMarie]

Thank you...... I have to say I enjoy not only writing them but finding the perfect picture to go along with it!

Despair in the morning, sounds like it's something that happens to me on a regular basis

[EileenMarie]

Interesting... must be for us poets to be able to write!

[Anthony Q Armstrong]

I don't know, I guess so.

[EileenMarie]

I was making light of this infliction but believe me in the morning it can be all encompassing and I have to force myself to get moving

[Anthony Q Armstrong]

So do I. I go to bed depressed and everything, and when I get up, it's even worse.

If you wake up with despair in the morning, it sort of ruins your whole day, doesn't it?

[EileenMarie]

No I don't let it!! It takes about an hour but as long as I get moving, doing laundry getting ready for my day I can shake it!! But I can write about it so easily its almost scary, guess my head is so clear too
