Depression is a terrible world to live in. There never seems to be a way out. Your poem screams with the pain and is so realistic. I am so pleased that isn't you. :) Sandra.

I'm just getting into free verse. I like the descriptive way you express the dark hole of bad brain times. I'm certainly glad you are not there now.

Hi Teresa this is a very powerful and emotive piece of free verse poetry. I have also been in the depths of depression and you have certainly described it well.

Comment from livelylinda
Teresa: I empathize. I have some problems with depression and become almost catatonic when it is a deep one. Your words within this poem are words I have also declared while in that state. I find it difficult to accurately define the true feelings of those times when I attempt to write about them. But, you did a good with this poem. Happy Thanksgiving! Linda

Lovely picture that complements your free verse very well. It has all the ingredients to be good, sublime even. You have improved so much the last few years.

Hi Teresa. this is a very deep and thought provoking poem my friend, at first I thought that you were suffering again, such are your powerful words, then your revelation at the end was perfect, loved reading it.

To TAB_that's me,
A life in which you choose to live in to keep yourself strong and going down the right path opposed to a life of stress and feeling lost.
2 very nice similes noted: Leaves shake
like the zils on a tambourine
-From fingertips, like blood, I drip
my sin and cares away
*suggestion- on your ending possibly put "Jesus lives on 'in me ' or 'for me'
