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

Seriously, I am not trying to be a dick. If I am guilty of anything it's being too direct. That's just my personality. I am a love or hate type guy. With that said....
This is my point. You mean well and its sincere, but for someone truly fighting depression, it might be looked at as more of an insult than anything. As if you think that will make all of their troubles go away.
Look, I am just being honest. Because you mean well I can see how you would be insulted or think me telling you this is being a dick. I can see how it comes off that way, but just like you felt that you needed to post it, I felt like I should tell you what I did.

nope. I think you spit extraneous drivel simply for the sake of reading your own thoughts and making yourself feel superior as if somehow the use of all those extra words and complete disdain for concise speech patterns makes you special. Truly special people don't have to try to make people notice them. You're fairly intelligent, but your confidence and forced bravado need some work.

No I'm with you. You have to sift through threads because so much redundancy is posted, a thread with a thought provoking message couldn't hurt. Passing it along in a way, which is ideal with a written word medium.
