I wrote this poem at a time in my life when I was suffering with severe depression. I am so pleased that these days have now long gone and I am now much happier.
I thought hard about whether to submit this poem or not but decided it may give hope to people who may be thinking the same as I did at the time. The poem gives an idea of the depths that I sank to and I would like to say to others who may be feeling the same that there are usually much brighter times ahead....
My Grave
..a poem written at the pit of depression..
Each day of darkness I cannot bear;
I long for a time without despair.
Please guide me to an eternal life;
If one exists - free of heartache and strife.
I would not wish my family to see;
How dreadful my life has come to be.
Just sadness and gloom, not even a friend,
I just want my grief-stricken life to end.
Oh grave please call me to lie within;
To release this pain and suffering I'm in.
My life has become a depressing act,
Please let me die with my soul intact.

Hi,
Yes, Life is cruel. But, remember, the pain would definitely pass; there is nothing permanent in this world - no pain, no pleasure; neither life, nor death. At the end of the day it is just ourselves that we hurt. It's not worth it. Rise and shine.
