My ears hear the wind chimes at play
Their music brings little value to say
My mind tries to listen closely, but cannot
The emotions pile around me, tied in a knot
My melancholy spirit remains dismal and sad
The gray skies never ever make me feel glad
My heart is filled with much loneliness
The day’s outlook fills with emptiness
My emotions have been left too bare
Life’s troubles bring much to scare
My eyes only notice the bad and the ugly
The good has never made me feel snuggly
My heart aches from many past wounds
So many others’ words make me swoon
My body needs to begin moving soon
No! Let’s linger in bed til’ afternoon
My room remains motionless and dark
Please God, help me to find my spark
Many of us have experienced infrequent bouts of depression. Sometimes life’s challenges can overwhelm any of us. Others deal with depression as an illness that follows him or her like a persistent shadow. If you know of someone who battles depression on a long-term basis, you probably have a great deal of empathy for this person.
I have struggled with depression at times. I went through it for several years after I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2012. I survived it and came through it victoriously only through Jesus. I pray for all those who suffer from it. The Lord can and will set people free! God bless!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It was a difficult poem to write because I had to put my mind in a place that I seldom go to.
