The mind is—Black
Filled with the Indifference of Result.
I twiddle my thumbs as I look for—
The Slant.
I ponder each day—
Why am I here?

In the end I realize—
God has a Plan for All of Us
I intend to follow it
Day In Day Out.

Being a person suffering from depression, I wanted to write this poem to encourage the millions that are like me; there is always hope if you want to find it.
