Two poems of my own composing.
Hey, not sure, if people post their own stuff here but I thought I would give it a go. If you like these two I have others, that I might share at a later stage. These poems were both written a few years ago, in the midst of a depression I'm mostly through, so they no longer reflect my views, but I thought maybe they might resonate with others in a similar place as I was. I used to find a comfort when I found someone dealing with the same things. Felt less alone.

Welcome to Snapzu and to /t/poetry! You are entirely welcome to post your own work here. It's a small community, so there has not been much sharing of original work as of yet, but ideally it is a place to share anything poetry related. I would love to see more original work posted.
Thank you for sharing these! I like the first one especially. It really conveys the slow and seemingly endless drudgery that is the battle with depression. I think both capture the desperate isolation and struggle of depression quite well. I'm glad you're recovering, and it's very good of you to share your work with others well-being in mind. You're quite right that sharing our experiences can help to give solace. I look forward to reading more of your works whenever you feel inspired to post them!
Wow, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed them :)
They have been a rather private aspect of my life so far but as I no longer relate to them, it's interesting to find that I no longer feel so concerned with sharing them. In fact it is rather pleasing to imagine someone, getting some form of enjoyment from my work.
ARGH!! Just noticed the mistake in the second one, "Destined to for this prison" should be "Destined for this prison" it was a change that I made just before posting it and obviously didn't notice it. :P
Now it's just galring me in the face! haha.
