Give me Strength

by Jasmyn   Mar 16, 2007


I remember when it started
Oh say 7 months ago
The beginning of another depression
That's drug on ever so slow.

I'm searching for the strength
To lift my chin up high
But mostly for the strength
To finally say good-bye.

The past rests on my shoulders
Always bringing me down
I hate hiding tears
Praying no one is around.

I feel like I'm losing myself
And that is never good
Thinking things again
I never thought I would.

It's time to let it all go now
Accept, adapt, and move on
It's time to live again
The past is gone.

    I really liked this poem. I think you did a great job at defining the pain of relapsing something as hard as depression, or just something that no one should have to deal with. I especially loved the lines,
    "The past rests on my shoulders
    Always bringing me down"

    And I really enjoyed the last stanza. I think it completed the poem and provided a sense of inspiration, of hope.

    One thing: This line confused me a litte, "That's drug on ever so slow."
    I think it needs to be worded differently, or perhaps revised because I couldn't really figure what you were trying to say.

    Overall I thought it was a good read, nice job.
