What Poem Has Helped You With Your Depression?

"I rise, I rise, I rise."

Poetry is a language that can soothe the soul.

There is nothing quite like coming across a poem when you *really* needed words to help you with your depression.

Maybe you've found comfort in a lyrical poem by e. e. cummings...

...or perhaps you've been consoled by a specific Maya Angelou poem.

Maybe there's a lesser-known poem that's helped you out during a time of despair.
