    I am left in a tangled confusion of emotions, and the reason is because of the contrasts between the words..

    like " sweet sorrow" ..
    when depression blooms like joyful spring

    The use of I am going to call them warm words combined with words that are negative like depression per se.. creates a calm yet sad atmosphere.

    Good job with the acrostic and also with the implementation of rhymes 5/5

    I like the unique use of expressions like sweet sorrow, blooming depression that becomes like joyful spring. The acrostic form is one of my favorites.
    Excellent poem :)

    This poem is clearly unique. The writer plays with poetic techniques shown through a good use of personification and makes used of a well established and formed structure.
    Also impressive is how the half rhymes in the first stanza are directly contrasted with the tight rhyme scheme of the latter; undoubtedly, a fine poet has produced these words.
