The creation of love
beauty in perfection
gifted by God, had
but one flaw, me.

Unable to cope
with the change, now
impossible to control
chemical secretions
in brain, hormones in
rebellion, the beast
of mid-life hell
living within my space,
I fell, I failed.

My angel,
without the soft sanctuary
of maternal care, left
with sibling, forgotten there
disturbing yes, but nonetheless
the truth of what transpired.

What is left, what can be said
what will remove this burden
of heavy dread, nothing, alas
there are no words....

I wish only now a haven of love
for the treasure gifted me
the decision one that tortures
though one that may just be

to share such a small portion,
of life given by the Lord
but depression, and defeated
are emotions I can't afford.

I will with broken heart
give my angel the gift of life.

Hello Anne

I was so surprised to find this on the second page without any replies.  Your words were so heartfelt as I recalled my own battle with the demons of depression.  If this is written from a personal experience I hope you overcome this.

Take care......Sue

I'm anchored in you

The mind is a haven for many things....and too often...
far too often we allow it to have it's
liberty with us....

Excellent write,  and if this is you,  come
out Anne,  and tell your mind to go have
a nice day,  cause you are...

Mid-life crisis can wreak havoc in a woman's life. If you are writing from personal experience, have you looked into HRT (hormone replacement therapy)? When hormones are all out of whack, life's problems can seem overwhelming.

Take Care,

Anne - your words are honest and heartfelt. I don't think you are a "flaw." Your writing always shows compassion and caring. Enjoyed. Chris

I read such pain in your words, may you find peace, and a light in the dark.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Anne, my heart goes out to you, I battled severe depression as a young boy and guess that is how I got to be what I am now, tenderized like a steak! I truly think I am a good boy just as I know you're a wonderful and loving person! (big hugggssssss) I send angel hugs of sympathy and strength your way, sweet friend, I hope you feel better soon, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thank you Sue, for your kind words of support.

Barry, thank you so much dear friend, your words mean a lot to me.

Linda, I am on herbal HRT. It helps some. Some women breeze right through this, unfortunately I am not one of them. Thank you dear angel, for your sweet words.

Thank you James.

Thank you Chris, for your understanding.

Sandpiper, thank you , I do hope to find that light.

Noah, as always, you are so kind. Thank you.
