re: If You Struggle Or Have Struggled With Depression Would Reading A Poem Help?

To Georgia, the day I need to try with words is the day the Alzheimer’s has progressed too far. Do you think I sit there with a thesaurus or something?

I stumbled across the poem purely by accident the other night. The spoken word video. Almost turned it off until I heard a bit of wordplay that drew me in, “they’ve come to see the world from the comfort of a screen”

And so I listened to it, in its entirety, and it was a work of art. It’s stuck with me for days now. It’s absolute quality stuff, from some no name bloke in Ireland, but to me it was more worth sharing than some forgettable instawhore or a no name rapper.

And I know, for a fact, that some posters on here struggle with depression. That many have felt the awful reverberations of suicide. And the universe told me, someone needs to read/hear this. And so a simple sharing late at night, in a thread that will soon be buried and forgotten, was just my little way of trying to spread a little something good.

It wasn’t my own work and i never claimed it was. I just thought someone here might read it and take a little something from it.

And when it was buried on the second page and all but forgotten...well...you know.

I had no intentions, pure or not. Just another bottle cast into this endless sea of threads
