 Picture by Alan Ayers * * * I live beneath a cloak of darkness I fear my life won't be the same My mind seems far in distance I barely answer to my name This disease is like a poison Through my veins it seems to flow It is black and it is evil Inside me I feel it grow It's taken away my dignity And left me without hope Each day seems like the other All alone I struggle to cope I live within the shadows And I've become a recluse Won't someone break these chains Please set my spirit loose I experience no joy in living And I fear what I've become Won't someone draw the curtains And introduce me to the sun? * * * * Written for all those people who suffer or have suffered from depression, such a debilitating illness that often lacks compassion and proper understanding. I am in motion |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Sue, I know this feeling ever so well and my heart goes out to all who suffer this disease as I used to suffer it severely and almost took my own life! (wipes tears) I send angel hugs to everyone this holiday season and wish for compassion to comfort them all! Gd Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Yes, Sue, You told of this terrible thing very well. You always do, though, on whatever your subject is. Thank you for sharing your heart.  "Love makes the world go around" |

Sue, you captured the essence of depression--and so eloquently. P.S. these pics you've been posting are incredible! I enjoy them almost as much as I do your fine poetry! hugs, Linda |
