Inspired by Depression

No need to wait for miracles...sadness is the tool

In a far far universe away

someone like me  does not die

in excitement to see the world

someone like me does not live...

His happiness is unknown to him

and sadness is a tranquility to heart

when some rock cries in another dimension

He hugs it and feel enlightened..

I met Him through dreams

when a proverb of Greek Gods

"everything in moderation"

from His mouth

cleanse my soul, tormented demons..

I got up infinite mornings

only to die in the night

but when He killed my dreams

my eyes never shut...

Now i am awake in sadness

and cry in God's proximity

'cause there is none

who gets happy to find a bliss

I'm 60 & about half the time I've been depressed. I've often credited my suicidal tendencies as the thing that has kept me alive all this time. It's cool to see someone write something of a similar idea. Your descriptions of depression are very unusual & original . . . some I recognize, others I do not. There's a flat tone to this writing that's realistic becuz depression is often not dramatic or full of tears, but just like flatlining the life out us.

Just what I needed, thank you for sharing this.

I pray to God every day to guide me with my actions.
every night to stop me from the torments of my nightmares.
I was so close to giving up,
but I read this and realized that I'm not alone.
There are people around me that are suffering something worse than mine.
But they haven't given up.
So Thank you Gaurav,
A LOT, for keeping me away from the rope I hang on my bedroom.

May God bless you

That depression is one of the aspects of life, can not be denied. By falling in a well do we know the important of world outside. So don't lose hope but don't be over-optimistic too. Both are fatal. Have he balance. Thankyou for your review. I am happy that my words could connect.

Very insightful. Depression often fuels my best work, I think. But it is so important to remember moderation. The light must always shine through at some point. Great work!

[Gaurav]

Thank you for the feedback. Appreciate it.

Many artists and poets alike have been documented as suffering from depression, so many artistic endeavors have been 'inspired' by depression. Your poem seems to draw on such situations and illustrate situations that free the poets' souls to write with abandon. Very nicely done, Gaurav. take care...dan

[Gaurav]
