Seeking shelter in the comforting arms of a loved one is easy to do, during difficult times. Often, people find themselves alone, without someone who truly understands the magnitude of their suffering. Perhaps they should consider reading poems of comfort.
Reading lyrics written by another who has endured similar dysphoria, can reassure even the most melancholy reader that they are not alone. By expressing their emotion and pain through the written word, their healing begins. For the pensive reader, they are able to feel that emotion as if it were their own.
Encompassing your inability to grieve, they begin the process of inner healing. They usually begin with the cause of your distress, whether it is the loss of a job, self worth, the loss of a family pet or a loved one. Perhaps you are still in denial regarding your loss. By allowing yourself to focus on the object of your grief, you allow yourself to feel your loss. You can not truly heal and move on, if you do not allow yourself the ability to grieve.

Feeling your loss, while burdensome, is part of the course of action that is required to move forward. By assisting you to work through your loss, hurt, anger and pain, you begin to release the anguish and start the process of healing. Many of these quatrains facilitate working through the negative emotions to bring you to reclamation.
Many people find themselves attempting to bargain, through emotional appeals and petitions. They begin to feel that possibly, they could change things, if only they could go back and do things differently. All the while, being fully aware that it is impossible. But in that moment, for that brief period of time, you could cause the past to change and make your anguish disappear.
Depressive poetry assures you that your pain and suffering are unique. It almost allows you to believe that you must be the only one in the world who feels such devastating loss. It takes your pain, puts it on paper, for the entire world to see. In this manner you can almost justify your depression, as you work through your pain, to find the comfort you so desperately need.
Finding acceptance through the written word will put you in a more receptive state. Finding assuagement in these compositions, you realize that even though you have endured tremendous difficulty, you will find a way to move forward with life. You may still experience additional feelings of loss, but you will also be encouraged by the realization that you have not walked this path alone, you now have a partner to share your grief.
Succor often begins with reading the lyrics that others, who have walked this path before you, have written. Immerse yourself in the strength of their compassion. Feel their sorrow, watch as they face their loss, as they gain acceptance of things out of their control, as their own personal dysphoria disappears while they regain their res
