I shall...

The path of life I found myself,

is one full of dread and fear.

All alone I walk like silhouette

hoping to see a bright light ahead.

Awful memories stuck on replay

hurting my head like I'm insane.

Flood of depression washing me away

in the rollercoaster of hope and pain.

The time of freedom I await to come,

moments of hope and that of joy,

days of relief from chains and bonds,

Coz I just want to smile again.

You are right my friend and you are welcome.

Sometimes negative experiences can remain with us for years, cropping up unexpectedly as painful memories. When we struggle with them they only get stronger. The best course is to face them and allow them to be what they are. Deprived of the fuel of resistance, they will fade away.

That's the truth, John.
We need to learn to let go.

Dear Kay, your words will be relatable to many. Not a good place to find yourself. I sincerely hope you break free from your black dog depression soon and will find some joy in life again. Hang in there. The light at the end of the tunnel may be just around the corner.

A very strong piece of poetry with the words jumping out from the page to land into the heart. It felt very relatable to me and my struggles every day. Thank you for sharing your poem with us.

It's my pleasure, Carlos.
We'll be fine.

writing is so therapeutic...and if not necessarily autobiographical, it can surely help others going through the same issues in life.
