A poem or prose, you decide.

Jewels and Love in Darkness

Though I suffer from depression,
Love is there behind the darkness.
Most people have impressions,
Of a suicidal depressed person
But mostly we are like everyone else
that is in the brightness.

We may show our emotions on our sleeves,
Although many people don't look
long enough to notice.
People must live their lives
And sometimes forget about others
To find the Jewel within themselves.

If a person stops to look
They may find it hard to go on,
With their own lives.
So the Jewel is lost
In those that are depressed,
By those that live in the brightness.

It is hard for the average person
To understand just how
Someone can live in darkness
When all they see is light.

The blinders people wear,
Often times block them
From seeing what is out there.

The Jewel maybe found within
The light and darkness.
It is the same way with love.
It just takes harder to find
When one lives in darkness.
