Mended...

I am suffering from depression every second

Still trying to accept the fact

That I can be mended

And do not have to act

Like someone I'm not

For I am loved

And I do have meaning

And my existence must be

Of importance

Otherwise I wouldn't still be

Standing here breathing

I will overcome depression

And when I do

I will rejoice

For the Lord is good

And knows where I have stood

And where I will stand 

Beforehand 

There are others who feel the same

They feel as if they are standing in the rain

And feel like going completely insane

From making so many mistakes

And need to know what love feels like

So they can finally see

How unique they are

And find who they were meant to be

Drug addiction may hold you to the ground

But you need to stand up and fix your eyes

On the creator of all things

The one who spoke life into trees

For he is watching everything

No matter how hard you try to hide it

He'll always know

The things you are thinking and seeing

For he lives inside your being

If you are feeling hate let it go

For it is the devil trying to show

You lies and things you shouldn't do

So you will turn away from the things you know to be true

He tells you that you're worthless

And deserve no hope

But there is no truth I tell you

For I know what it's like

To seek guidance from life

And I fell far from the truth

So don't listen

Or you too 

May be drug into the mess

And end up being depressed

So fix your eyes and find the truth

For you are loved

And there are many that appreciate you

Although you may not believe this to be true

You have purpose

So I encourage you to strive each day

To find happiness

And stop letting your heart be led astray

Healing is coming

And soon your wounds will be

Mended in time

You'll see...

The very first thing to say n this poetry is I liked it so much...when one goes through expression it can only be that person who can understand that...it is actually crucial...but coming out of that is the real work...you work splendidly Tori...keepgoing

Thank you...

I think you sum this up perfectly within the first verse, that not only are you aware of the depression, which in my opinion is the only time we can begin to heal, but you are looking through the haze and seeing positivity as your goal. That doesn't sound like much, but to someone caught up in the storm, it is one of the biggest breakthroughs they can make, as it is the first sign of not letting yourself be defeated and categorised by one thing in your life. It makes total sense too if you look at it, because one facet of a person does not a story make, so why label it as such. It is but a part of us that you will overcome, as you go on to say in this finely written piece. Hope to see you at the finish line :)

This is pure talent. You have a way with words that makes us all feel emotions upon reading them. Your words and your sentences are amazing, and I am grateful you were able to find a way to put this into words and share your pain with us.

Thank you...I wrote this hoping to give those who are suffering depression a hope that they can still be mended...The name was inspired by my favorite song which has always been a light to me when I'm feeling down...May God bless you in many ways...

Sincerely,
Tori....

Thank you for posting this comforting poem. Healing should descend upon the broken hearts. They shall be mended by the love from those who understand how to mend. Trying to let go of the hate, which is the Devil's bait, is the commencement when love is created, and the healing of heart is initiated. Nice work!

[Tori Jones]

Thank you!

This is a fantastic poem and so true, why do so many people suffer from anxiety and depression? Beating themselves up everyday, it's a tough life but we have to find a way to keep spiritual energies high by doing good things. Also treating yourself, having a high opinion of yourself and self worth. Think about all the things you are good at, writing for one!! Well done, loved your poem
