Life is Worth Living

This ache in my heart,

It is so strong;

I cant understand,

What could be wrong.

Some say the blues,

some say an obsession;

But to be this strong,

It must be depresion.

I cant shake this feeling,

I dont want to live;

For I have nothing,

Nothing to give.

If I can just make it,

Just till tomorrow;

The pain will be gone,

There'll be no more sorrow.

But when tomorrow,

Turns into today;

Nothing has changed

,Nothings gone away.

Someone please help me,

Before I fall in;

I cant live another day,

Like this one again.

As I look in your eyes,

At my reflection;

I noticed Ive changed,

To a new direction.

Thru the worst of my life,

I know now I've made it;

I have climbed up out,

Up out of the pit.

I now can believe,

That life is worth living;

And things do look better,

For life is worth living.

For those of you who dont know I wrote this in 1983. I struggle with depression, and am still learning I can not dwell on the negative because of depression. I cant watch scarey movies, or play games that have wicked looking things or dark things in it. I have to always look toward the future, so that I can focus on hope. It is the only way i can live each day.

I post this for those who also struggle, dont give up hope. The day may look bad at the moment, but thats just what it is, just a moment. Time will make things look brighter again. Focus on the positive things in your life. Also, remember you always have a friend in me to lean on if you should ever need to.
