This isn't a depressive poem, but please don't skip the authors note! I have some things I want to clarify:

I know I have depression and I don't want to stay in this state. The reason why I'm making these poems is because I've kinda ranted way too much to my friends about my problems and so I don't want to drive them away or make them my dumping ground of emotions.

I realize that there have been comments talking about how to overcome my depression or how to identify my depression and my answer to that is: I'm trying.

I am grateful for your concern and advice and I really hope something clicks, but yes I struggle with depression and yes I'm struggling to find a solution.

Regardless, let me get to the main reason for this author's note. Rantings of the Broken is a short story and I don't want to cause anyone, who is unfortunate enough to come upon my rantings, depression. It has also been brought to my attention that since I do have depression, this may not be the best outlet for my depression. While that may be true, I need to rant in my own way somehow.

So comes the question: should I continue to write the poems?

There is a poll that I would strongly suggest you answer and please answer honestly. I will check the results and make my final decision on October 17.

Let me just say, I am more than happy to continue writing. It is an outlet where I can rant through poems to someone through a screen. Whether it's a good outlet or not is yet to be determined, but you guys choose.

Please vote on the poll and/or leave a comment below on what you think. Until October 17, I will continue to write when I feel impressed to, so you can expect a couple of poems before then.

Thank you all and I hope y'all can make a decision for the broken.
