Mother and brothers
always despised you.
Grew up wondering,
why this was your due.
Years of struggling,
trying to belong;
Hoping some day
a friend
would come along
You manage to marry,
but it does not last;
Becomes a casualty
of your unhappy past.
You manage to
raise children,
who eventually leave home;
They find better lives,
you're left all alone.
You're an occasional thought,
sometimes a need;
Always willing to help
with any deed.
Maybe you're a jerk,
or not any fun;
Still no friends have
you ever won.
You spend many holidays
all alone;
When will it all end?
When God takes
you home.

First off, to DF.

You write beautifully, there was so much said with so little words. I look forward to seeing more of you around the site.

LR, thanks for your kind welcome. I originally posted in Depression Central and am disappointed that Administration moved it over here to Recovery as being classified as "poetry." I really am a person of few words. Most people find me "too quiet." I don't feel I am on the road to recovery unless one considers resignation as being on the road to recovery. I was hoping for more insight from the other forum, but as usual, I am again misunderstood and moved over here. Oh well, I guess that's why resignation is becoming practically the only way I cope.

Imainfp,

A from here as well. There is nothing wrong with being a quiet person. And it's wonderful that you can express yourself with poetry. Everyone expresses themselves in a different way, and it's all good, IMO, there's no 'wrong' or 'right'.

Sending hugs your way. . And hope you feel better.

Are you seeing a therapist and are you on medication?

Take care.

Hi and Welcome to DF Imian

It does seem like you feel very misunderstood. Your writing is beautiful and it must have taken a long time to write that, but this section is the section for all poetry. Why do you feel like everyone despises you, because you are misunderstood and different? You are not so different here.
Do you go to therapy or have a doc?
You seem very isolated and alone, it can only make depression worse, isolating, so please don't be a stranger here.
