I have been depressed lately, well,
all of my life & I want to read poems
that make me feel your pain. I want to
hear about the lowest points in your life
where you gave up on everything and didn't
know where to turn to. And then how you
recovered, or ARE recovering. I want inspiration
to make me realize i'm not alone, and that I can
still make it through, and not give up, as I have
been lately.
Here are the options you can enter;
1] It can be about deep-throbbing heart break that
never died out, and you find it SO hard to move on.
2] You have endured abuse. I want to hear your story
and how you made it through the darkest nights.
3] I want to hear of drug addictions. How far you
went before you realized it was killing you, and
how you seeked help, are seeking help now,
and how you feel, if you changed, or are finding
it so hard to.
4] I want to hear about trauma. Any type of trauma
in your life you deal with; stress, depression, family/
friend battles, bi-polar disorder, any type of disorder,
or diseases, bad habits you find impossible to part from,
Alcohol abuse (either you or someone you know who has
that problem and what they went through)
5] People who are spiritual, I want to know how God has
helped you through the storm, or if you have drifted from
Him and are finding it so hard to stay close to Him in time
of need, as you feel the Devil is blocking your every move.
6] If your loved ones are ill, terminally ill. How did you, or
are you coping with the grief, stress, emotion, faith.
7] Thoughts of suicide. If you have tried, or thought about
it, I want to know why, what is so wrong in your lives for
you to make you induce self-harm or self-loathing.
8] Any type of pain you endured throughout your whole
life or recently, and how you have COPED, or are in the
process of COPING.... etc.
Please give me raw, painful emotion & imagery so that
I can feel what you are feeling, and empathize with
you. I don't appreciate what God has done for me lately
and I keep allowing myself to be pulled in by the Devil
and I am seeking help to stop, but I want to make sure
I continue seeking help, and not give up anymore.
Hearing your stories, will help me a great deal in
this, and encourage me to have hope, and
realize that others have suffered much worse
than me, to make me appreciate what I have.
I'm tired of knowing my own pain, I want to know
of others' and I want to empathize with you.

Meaghan, just read everything I've ever written. Lol.. I do believe I have a poem that does say somewhere along the lines "I was born depressed". Which is probably true. I'm pretty low. Anyways good luck and have fun hosting this contest, sadly I don't feel like getting in to a funk right now, today is day one of happiness. Feel better Meg and if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me.
