So much more........

Black dog knocking on my door
It just seems so hard to ignore
I wanna shed these fears on the floor
Change my life an be so much more
Kinda feel I've earnt the right
Never given up and stayed in the fight
Strayed in the dark but searched for the light
Lived for the day more than the night
So what's it take to break the mold
Release the binds that take hold
Feel the warmth to repel the cold
Break the barriers to be bold
Maybe an honest conversation or two
With those who really do know you
Even if it is their point of view
Can only possibly help your vision too
Loneliness is a path well worn
Doesn't mean it has to be forlorn
Inspiration can often be born
For those who wake to a darkened dawn.........

Very good poem on depression. ..I find it interesting just how many creative articulate caring people have, are, or will suffer from mental health conditions..those whose dig often deep into their mind and thoughts ...really think things through..are blessed with being in touch with their feeling in a deeper level too which means tapping into both the light and darker side of life and whist that can be a painful process sometimes its better than being a robot or going through like in auto pilot not feeling anything at all.
So many great comedians, artists, poets, painters, authors, comedians etc have amazing creativity and facinating minds :)
The only frustrating thing is how long it has took society to try and understand the effect of mental and also just how genius minds suffer too but how beautifully complex the creative mind can be.

Peace and joy be with you all
Thanks for sharing

Hi Happy ..........I think everybody gets affected at some point in their lives , I think it's about looking for the signs and responding accordingly to best maintain good health. It's such an individual issue with so many triggers . Thanks for stopping by and giving your views on this sensitive subject. Ps writing helps .........Regards NU
