Array ( [sid] => 105604 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => DEPRESSION'S DEEPENING HOLE by larry lile [time] => 2005-09-13 08:05:27 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I am living in my 50th year,
here on God's green earth
fifty years of loving,
and fifty years of hurt

I have always managed to handle my pain
up until this final year
now nothing seems to help my pain
or to dry up all of my tears

it seems the things I loved to do
do not interest me any more
now for days, weeks, and months
I have been trapped here on my floor

I watch TV to numb my pain
read books to screen my mind
for it's the quiet time, that brings the tears
and drives away, the peace,i need to find

I know I hurt, the ones I love
I can see it in their eyes
but even though I see their pain
I still sit here Paralyzed

Paralyzed by the pain I feel
that drives my mind to think
that all I need to solve this pain
is the courage to make the link

between the pistol in my hand
and the hurt, I cannot control
for then, all my pain would disappear
down the tub, my pain would flow

i know, that all who love me
would forgive me, and offer me help
but the biggest problem, that i have
is how, to forgive, myself!

I didn't understand what is the cause of pain. The poem looks to me somewhat messy.
Good luck!
