Drowning In A Sea Of Depression Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

Drowning in a sea of depression,
without ever learning my life's lesson.
Dreaming about taking my own life,
instead of trusting Jesus Christ.

Drowning in a sea of self pity.
Please do not color depression
as something poetically pretty.

Jesus Christ is knocking at my heart's door.
I left the key under the mat on the floor.
He can fill my heart with his never ending love.
As pure white as two turtle doves.

Drowning in a sea of make believe.
While asking permission of learning
life's many lessons.
Forgetting Jesus Christ died
on the cross of Calvary to
liberate lost souls such as me.

Drowning in a sea of isolation.
Living in a world of poetic hibernation.
Instead of talking on the telephone,
whenever I happen to be at home.

Drowning in a sea of loneliness.
Realizing it is a 'sad affair.'
Realizing just how much Jesus Christ
really loves me enough to set
my captive spirit and soul free!
