I have experienced the pain of depression
I have experienced the dread of fear
I have experienced doubt
I have experienced anxiety
I have experienced the rage of anger
I have experienced the dark of loneliness
I have experienced horrors of the battlefield
I have experienced all these tribulations and more…
Yet…
I have known love, joy and ecstasy
I have lived… for I am human and
that what we humans do…
day in and day out!
