There Are Times In My Life Poem by Francis Duggan

For years i have been battling my black moods of despair
And telling myself life to me is unfair
But others than me have far heavier crosses to bear
The human depth of suffering can be relative of such i am aware
I am lucky in that i have never heard voices in my head
Or at anytime never wished myself dead
Though like many i know of the dark moods of woe
Such moods to the human mind that come and go
Most of us have our moments of inner self doubt
When we ask ourselves what is life about
When we feel we were born to under achieve
At times on your worth as a person it can be hard to believe
I am not one of those free of phobias and fears
There are times in my life when i feel close to tears.
