Poem -
Cliche
It seems quite a cliche,
writing when your're depressed.
It has a way of making me feel
somewhat oppressed.
I can write light
and happy things too,
but much of my life
is filled with gloom.
Keeping it pent in
only makes it worse
and putting it into words
breaks that horrid curse.
Its like coming up
for a breath of fresh air.
A type of solace washes over
and my skin feels bare.
Clean and free,
yet the darkness lingers.
Only held at bay
by the flutter of my fingers.

Sometimes that's all it takes...and sometimes it's all we have.
Keep writing.

I apologize for such a late reply Jason, been not my self recently.
Sometimes it is indeed all we have and sometimes the release doesn't come when needed. I'm going through a spell where i just can't seem to write anything even though I am quite glum and not my happy self.
Thanks :)

Dear Lily,
Your poem is so beautifully written. I love the metaphors, I love the rhyme scheme, I love it all. I write you one of my own in it's response.
Double entendres oft' times plague me
In maudlin moods I write
But with each verse that I'm creating
The darkness turns to light
No longer drowning in depression
I surface and breathe again
I am cleansed for the time being
Sadness still looms, but I'll be happy until then
Peace and Love,

Dear Lily,
As Clint Eastwood said in the movie "Dirty Harry", "Go Ahead, Make My Day". As you have done for me with these beautiful words you have sent.
Peace and Love,
