Depression is my religion <br />I lay my emotions at the altar <br />As I worship in my pain <br />What do I have to gain <br />Being baptized in the rain <br />Washing over my body, the temple <br />Wish it was so simple <br />To make it go away <br />To make a new day <br />The hymn of sorrow <br />Coming from deep in my soul <br />Not looking toward tomorrow <br />Singing my pain filled song <br />Searching for someplace to belong <br />Oh for that I long <br />Not living in my church of hurt <br />Wading through the dirt <br />Cloaked in failure <br />What’s the allure? <br />The fiery pit of hell <br />My heart is the church bell <br />Ding dong ding dong <br />My pain filled song.<br /><br />Lissa White<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/depression-89/
