My poetry can best be described as a personal journey lived through depression.From childhood through adulthood I have existed with depression. I have alwaysenjoyed reading and so with reading the idea of writing poetry came to mind.Being able to express my emotions has played a big part on my road to recovery.Seeing people like myself has helped me give more understanding of howdepression affects the mind. Through my poetry I have been able to talk ofthese emotions through faith in others who have helped me and through my faithin God who has never left me. I try to end my poetry not in negativity but witha purposeful emotion that will give the reader hope a hope that he or she willsomeday reach that pinnacle in their lives that will help them to see beyondthat hopelessness of depression.
