Poetry
Hope in me is hope in death,
with all the strength to muster.
My soul stinks like my breath,
depravity is my luster.
If Jesus won't commit to men,
I dare not trust in me.
The best of me is my sin.
In that I can't be free.
I cannot look to things of flesh,
or intelligent frail minds.
When He is hope that's a stretch,
and for me so unkind.
I write against lie and depression,
conforming to the Truth.
Against my flesh's insurrection,
living Christ is my proof.
My whole mind opposes the Lord.
We are not compatible.
I'm the product of Adam's horde.
A truth that is ineffable.
My good Lord is my Promise,
in Him is “Yes” and “Amen.”
Since the Father gave me Jesus,
I have good now and then.

Written while in the pit of depression. Praise the Lord!
I'm really not ashamed to share this, since David the man after God's own heart had to remind his downcast soul to hope in God. In fact I don't believe all the Psalms are joyful ones. I seem to recall some miserable ones.
For the night depression hit me and whenever else I need it. I imagine you can see the references to scripture.
I'm already a little better...
