“May You Never Understand”
After I wrote a post on my struggle to capture depression and violence in a story of mine, Joe from The PD Warrior was kind enough to send in a poem about the experience of depression. Thanks, Joe, for your honesty. Remember, if you’d like to see work of yours posted here, email it to me and I’d be happy to consider publishing it. Now take a look at Joe’s poem, “May You Never Understand.”
May You Never Understand
Depression is what depression is
And if you really want to know
I’ll tell you…
But be careful what you ask
For to truly understand, you must step inside my mind
And know what it is to fell the emptiness left behind
When all life, all hope, all happiness
Are sucked inside this hole within my chest
Leaving just my battered soul
And the will of God
To determine my fate.
Wow. He… did it. He captured it.
Thank you, Joe.
