Question: Does poetry help you deal with stress or depression!?
Time-Chain

In a mortal realm
these pains we bare are long
To us within this constraint time
hope we think not found
But in a bound existence
a lesson learned more true
that pain is to be born in life
to regain life anew

jus a short commentary on my life of late… been sick, depressed, stressed, jaded, bitter, hateful, all the things that are really not me and I am getting tiered of it! But I am learning that we can all bare more pain then we ever thought we could if only we would take it in stride!. If you could give me your thoughts on the poem I would appreciate it…
