Please don't tell me life is fair, My only friend is named despair, My daddy "tweaks", my momma's dead, Who I've replaced in daddy's bed, Daddy loves me, or so he said, Now he's got Aids, soon I'll be dead, School counsellors, God what a joke, They're more concerned, the pot I smoke, Like I would tell, about my life, That I've become my daddy's wife, "She suffers from, depression's well," Cannot they see, I live in hell? Just turned fourteen, feel sixty-eight, I wonder who, I am to hate? It matters not, I just don't care, My only friend, is named despair. [This message has been edited by Mike (edited 03-30-2000).] |

What a truly powerful but very sad poem. There's not much else to say. If this is from personal experience then just be strong. Best Wishes Sandra x |

I agree. Please don't let despair be your only friend. It can be your friend, just not your only friend. Let some joy shine in from somewhere if ya can. Joy |

Mike, I know you are witness to so many sad lives...and that they affect you deeply...they color your poetry and I'm sure your view of the beauty of the day. Very moving poem...and hugs, my friend. |

Mike, this was a very moving poem. I truely hope that this hasn't been brought upon you...if so, be strong. There are people in the world who will be your friend, don't limit yourself to despair. The poem was great even if it was sad! Love is our greatest weakness but when it's found, it's our greatest strength. |
