This poem conveys both the hollow horrors of depression and the quiet acceptance of faith. It is crafted so carefully, with scripture and responses echoing their mirrored relationships. Your author note it so on target - wander as you will. I will be back to re-read this often. I'm going to put this on my "bookshelf" (if I can figure out how.)
Thank you for sharing this with so many here.

    I want to thank you from the best part of me for not only the rating but for truly understanding what this one is about. It isn't pretty and I was not sure where it came from, but it would seem others needed it as much as I did. Thank you again so honored you thought it was worth such a high rating. xoxo Kiwi

Very well done and spoken in truth. God has raised Joyce up in this hour to reach people like you and many others. My wife has her latest book and draws strength from her program.
Your poem is good and well thought out. Runs like a deer.
Nicely done poet.

Great title - and concept.
You've played Devil's Advocate with the 23rd Psalm. Each line praising the Lord answered with what many would consider reality - or Satan's retort!
Your downbeat theme is uplifted by your additional 1/2. A statement of where your faith lies.
One suggestion: I haven't a clue who Joyce Meyer is? To save readers like me doing research - maybe an author's note would help?
A wonderful presentation showcasing your words.

    Quiero que sepan que valoro lo que tengo que decir de éste como 19 personas más había visto ya en ella y leí rápidamente por que a pesar de que no significaba nada. Tu comentario me dio la esperanza de que tal vez yo había escrito algo digno de leer y pensar. Se lo agradezco mucho. gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón. deborah xoxo.
