expressions of life

 

 

Here's a poem I wrote during my depression. 

 

Why?

  

My God, my God,

why have you forsaken me?

An unfair question since I am the one who has turned away from You.

 

My depression always

seems to separate me

From those I love the most.

For somehow I just get angry,

hurt, and tired--so tired.

I never seem to have the energy

 to fight my way out.

 

I know I don't deserve any more chances

For the ever-elusive abundant life,

But can You give it to me anyway?
