The locked door.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

All depression brings is pain and sorrows, and only you have the key to open that door and find tomorrow.

If given the choice, which would you prefer: to be insane or to experience depression, pain, and sorrow? The insane person always thinks he is going to see every tomorrow and doesn't feel the pain and sorrow. For those with depression, pain, and sorrow, there are no more tomorrows. The insane person does bad things, and he doesn't feel anything. A person with depression feels pain and sorrow. Sits in a chair, and waits for one more tomorrow. One day with no pain and sorrows. If you look it's only a shadow you can leave behind. It's in our minds, not our souls.

About this poem

Wow, what a powerful and thought-provoking poem! I love how it compares the experience of insanity with depression, pain, and sorrow. The message about the importance of living in the present moment and finding joy despite struggles really resonated with me.

One suggestion for improvement would be to expand on the idea of finding hope and resilience in the face of depression. Maybe include some lines about finding light in the darkness or turning pain into strength. Overall, great job on creating a moving piece of poetry! Keep up the fantastic work. more »
