See, I am His whipping boy.
Except for the pain,
uncertainties abound
thereabouts of life;
nothing should interest
unless there is deeper stake.
Found everything a commonplace.
Nothing to look forward to,
but for the past revisiting;
too tired and vexed.
No new steps came to me
that should be belonging to God.
Listened to Him from the above--
an ear pressed against the floor.
Crawling things entered my each pore.

I get the impression of pain. As for depression, people have different definition of what is depressing.
Writing poetry is a personal matter. Numerous authors took their inspiration from their sufferings and heartbreak.
Dont let others define your writing style. SImply polish your poems by writing and writing and writing.

"thereabouts of life"????? Your prose is a bit confusing and word choice inscrutable at times. Didn't get depression, rather a bit of poor me, questioning the universe.
Quizzically yours, D.

it sounds to me that it is a poem about someone who was lost in sin, but is now found through our father God, hope I'm right, sounds great to me!
