If I only knew why my mind would make me crazy day after day
If I only knew why sadness seemed to follow me through-out my life
If I only knew why my tomorrows hurt even more than my yesterdays
If I only knew why my pain from so very deep within, cuts like a knife
If I only knew why these rivers of tears fall from my eyes
If I only knew why when they no longer fall, I still cry deep down inside
If I only knew why my life would become so confusing and so dam strange
If I only knew why sadly, something’s don’t ever seem to change
If I only knew why when I reached out to you Jesus, it seems as if you are just not there
If I only knew why did you really feel my pain and torment, hey Jesus, did you care
If I only knew why how much longer I would need to hold on to this daily pain
If I only knew why sadly, something’s don’t ever seem to change
Now as I walk along this journey to a destination of who knows where
Confused by it all, with a soul that is torn, tattered and beyond repair
I screamed out your name and said Jesus, I can’t do this all on my own
It was then that I heard a voice clearly say,
Don’t worry my son, I’m here, right beside you, and you were never alone
If I only knew that you would never leave me and always be by my side
If I only knew that your love would grow greater in every tear I cried
If I only knew that your love dear Jesus would always and forever remain
If I only knew that now gladly, I could say, something’s don’t ever need to change
If I only Knew
THE DEPRESSED POET, DOC DALTON
I am Just a Man Who Struggles Through His Words, So He Can Make It Through His Days

The Depressed Poet comes from many years of suffering from Depression. While in the hospital for this a doctor suggested that I try my hand at poetry and that is where life changed for me. I wrote about things I never really thought of before like God, Jesus, Heaven and so on. I do not consider myself a great or good writer because, I am not. What I am is a man, who stumbles through his words, so he can make it through his days. I also host a podcast called, The Coffee and Prayer Series.
