Who am I When you look through me To those beyond me standing I’m no one, No reason to be So off I go just shambling Useless flesh That people can’t see Gone into shadow hiding, This pale mess Lacking of beauty Alone in time just abiding. Gloom |

Dear Professor Gloom you wrote a very touching piece here ... very impressive. There are such days when we feel invisible, just when we need more warmth than usual ... Cheer up and try to spot those who feel like this and be the first to look into their eyes and smile ... Love, Margherita |

Professor, Well that's about as gloomy as you can get. Did you have a bad night? We all love you. |

Thank you, Margherita, I tend to be invisible, even when seen, not noticed, I’m sure there are others I have not notice also Seeing only their shadows in passing Thank you, Whiskey, Pleased you enjoyed Thank you, Seymour, The nights are not so bad, Even my nightmares are a comfort of sorts It’s the days, when light shines on the void that I am. I appreciate your kindness of words Gloom |

Gloom, I wish that I could give you a comforting reply like Sy's...and yes I do agree with his. But, on the other hand, your dark is my dark, I relate to your words more than I can express, although each case is different. This touched the emotion within that I still have left. Well written~ Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

Gloomy, yes, but that is how we perhaps all feel at one time or another...though the gloom is only within us... ...but so is the Light. Let it illuminate us. CG |

Awww Gloom, I feel sorry for those who "look straight through you." For these are the ones who are blind to your brightness and your giving heart. Too bad for them. Your words touched me deeply. Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Thank you, Honeybee, You are very kind to respond, And Seymour has an excellence way with words But yours convey pleasant emotional response also. Thank you, CastleGuard, Perhaps light is within most, But most of my filling is shadow and darkness Thank you, Nightshade, You are kind to notice me with your response, These days most people are too busy to notice Too involved with daily life to be touched You honor me with your words. Thank you, regards2you, If it were so easy I’d sharpen my teeth, I am pleased to have given you some enjoyment And thoughts. Gloom |
