Poem
OP - January 07, 2015, 12:25 AM

I was feeling pretty depressed recently and just felt like writing a poem. It's very short but I thought I'd share it because I know it helps me when I can relate to other's poetry so I had a go at it myself. Also, if anyone has felt this way, do you have any advice? What've you done to overcome it? Etc. I've been feeling like this for a long time and it just won't leave - it's really been affecting me a lot. Any reply is greatly appreciated, thanks!

These late hours remind you,
Of how you befriended insomnia years ago,
You lie there awake yet in a state of half-sleep,
Telling yourself things that you'd promised to forget,
Again and again; you're sick of it,

Remember when, at first, there was one, clear voice?
It sounded so certain that you fell to your knees in prayer,
There was hope for awhile - a bittersweet instant,
Before doubt over-grew it with its powerful vines,
The ropes of logic you tried to cut,

It isn't supposed to be easy, they say,
The right thing is difficult to do -
But right and wrong aren't like night and day,
Where the light is evident,
And the dark is too.

Logic be upon you.

Eek, that's all too familiar to me, and put more eloquently than I could muster. I don't know what advice to write other than to try and enjoy life and not worry as much about it to whatever extent is possible.

Lovely poem

Life is many shades of grey, Aamna. I somtimes think there is no right or wrong. At least not in the divine court. If there is a god, he can't sit in judgment on us, unless he first condemns himself for fixing the rules so cruelly.

I spent years in conversations with God until I realised I was only talking to myself.

Be patient and don't do anything rash.

Things will get better.

Logic be upon you.
