[1]I must confess,
That I’m depressed,
From all the stress,
That is impressed within my head,
Which makes me dread,
The dead souls that I fed,
Draining the rain from the reservoirs I’ve shed,
Leading me to walk on a thin line of thread,
I feel like I have no where to turn,
I think that all my bridges have burned,
And now all that I have yearned to earn,
From what I have learned,
Feels like it’s adjourned,
Now all my concerns,
Are making me wonder if I can return,
To the term,
When I was more firm,
I must focus on being strong,
Try my best to hold on,
And remember it won’t be too long,
That I’ll feel like I belong,
Back with the birds singing sweet SONGS!!!!!
This was a time when I went through more than I thought I could bare, but the Lord gave me the strength to resolve the dilemas I was going through at the time. Writing this helped me feel better; getting how I felt about what I was going through on paper was a way for me to vent..

Brilliant...reminds me of Maya Angelou's, "I Know
Why the Caged Bird Sings!"
I love Maya Angelou!! That book was awesome. I read it in high shcool. She went through a lot in her life. Thank you much Mr. Mystic!!
I like the emotional tempo of this poem, its given me the courage to maybe post something I've written on the subject.
Bravo, and very well done.
Thank you much Lucid!! I appreciate your feedback!!
Another impressive piece!! Great work!!
Thank you much Dexsta Ray!!
Great write!
I'm sure there are many people that can relate to this.
Thank you so much Shepard!! You're so right!! Many people are going through hard times right now. My prayer and love goes out to those going through it right now!!
Absolutely brilliant! Adele, you are a warrior; God's beloved! With your love, reverence, and trust in the Lord, nothing will keep you down. Great capture and I'm glad you made it through the storm. Constant blessings.
AWE!!!! Thank you so much Stephanie!! It was a night when I was in so much pain. I had to let it out, and I let it out on the paper. When I was finished; I was relieved. God Blesses us with talents and creativity and when we are going through more turmoil than we can bare, you can channel that negative energy into positive energy and you gain back your power that way as well!! Maximum Blessings to you my Queen and Much LOVE and RESPECT!!!!!! :-)
Amen!!! By the power of God that is invested in us, we are conquerers. I was so close to giving up with this platform (UWP), but it wasn't resting well with the Lord and my spirit. And two people came to mind in term of sincerity and not cheating them out of the blessing that God gave me to express my thoughts; one of them was you, Adele. And with absolute humility, respect and love, I returned. God's infinite blessings and continue to be strong.
Yo!! I swear we're connected!! I was thinking those same thoughts and two people came into mind and ofcourse one of them were you!! I missed you guys and I am so happy you are back!! God needs us on this UWP platform for a bit but still work on your other goals Sis!!. You are truly talented. You're goals will be achieved. You are the true light!! I LOVE you and Respect you and I am so Blessed to have you in my Life. Infinite Blessings to You!!
Writting really can be a good therapy it does help I think! Yes Jesus will bring us out of the deepest lows because his love is always with us! You have a pure light and a kind heart ! I pray God will always lift you up to shine even brighter along your path!!!
Awe!! Thank you so much for those Lovely, inspiring words my Queen!! You are so right; God gives us the blessings to be able to vent our feelings through art and sometimes - at the most saddest moments or rough times, in our life is when we create some of the deepest pieces from the soul. I Love you girl!! Much Respect and Infinite Blessings to You!!
Go girl. I suffer from bad depression too. So glad you're feeling better, writing helps me too, it's my therapy. You express your self so well. Keep on writing, you great, and take good care. Best wishes. Moogie.
Thank you so much my King!! I feel you!! Trust me: Everyday is not all sunshine for me, I have to make it that way. It isn't easy but we have to fight the devil and try. In this life: the more happy and nicer you try to be is when we get tested even more but we must keep in mind that we must win. If we give in, then the devil wins and we can't have that because that will make him stronger. Stay strong Moogie!! You are stronger than you think, trust me!! All the Best Wishes, Love, Respect and Maximum Blessings to You!!:-)
