Anathema made a post a short while back about writer's block. I came across my own writer's block tonight, and so I just began to write and let my inner poet guide me. Here's the result, make of it what you will.
---------------------------------------

“My prime of youth is but a frost of cares;
My feast of joy is but a dish of pain;
My crop of corn is but a field of tares;
And all my good is but vain hope of gain.
The day is past, and yet I saw no sun;
And now I live, and now my life is done.”
- Chidiock Tichborne

The worst wounds do not bleed.
We always hurt the ones we love. ItÂ’s a trite expression, and it isnÂ’t true. We hurt everyone, and those we love only feel it more because of their feelings. Even though love is eternal, suffering endures just as well.
I feel a pain I cannot describe.

“Love is like the measles; we all have to go through it.”
- Jerome K. Jerome

I am a hopeless romantic. I find that I enjoy the comfort that comes with spending a pleasant evening with the girl I love the most enjoyable instant of time I have ever experienced. A nice walk in the moonlight with her, just being close, means more to me than my very soul. ItÂ’s an addiction, plain and simple. After leaving her company for only a few minutes, I begin to miss her. We have plans for the future, but a five hour drive between our residences for the next year leads me to see pain in my future.

“Go, songs, for ended is our brief sweet play;
Go, children of swift joy and tardy sorrow:
And some are sung, and that was yesterday,
And some unsung, and that may be to-morrow.”
- Francis Thompson

Our time here is short, but not all hope is lost. The act of living, of truly seizing life and running with it makes your life what it is. You are not simply the clothes on your back, and you are not what you look like. Let the actions make the man, let the past rest easy, and let the future belong to God.

“It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul”
- Ernest Hemingway

Do not let others make your life, for it will be a shadow, a vague reckoning of an existence. True being must be created by the soul, must be founded on the person who lives the life. Take the advice of others, listen to the past, but let your actions be your own. He who masters his own destiny masters the world, and he who is the true owner of his self will live into history. Immortality is what you make in this world; let your immortality lie in your self.

I think it's just a bout of the jittery kinidgets. Might be a breakdown, though.

You seemed to be depressed. I don't know why, but I'm sure you do. You better talk to Anthema and she'll make everything better.

I have nothing but good thoughts because I know life can't get any worse

yeah, I get depressed alot. I've had a couple pretty bad breakdowns in the past, but I'm doing quite a bit better now than I used to be. I just let out my depression in my writing then go listen to The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bush and then i feel better, sometimes.

Dood,

I took ridilin for 6+ years, man that stuff is horrible, made me severly depressed, I wouldn't eat and wouldn't do anything, always snapped at people, and easily angered. I haven't been on it since a bad incident in 10th grade but man if anyone here is taking itand is depressed get off of it, seriously, I have been through very similar problems and if anyone here needs to talk about it IM me.

i'm on nine different medications, none of which are for depression, ADD, ADHD, or the like.

On a side note, I'm not depressed anymore, just got a bit of a cold.
