Their cries for help too often go unnoticed. Frail souls reaching out for help in the wrong places, bottles, pills, and drugs. So many wonderful souls, lost. So sad. God bless JMW

Karla,

This is so sad, an alcoholic dying alone friendless. Such a tragic end.

Friends rejected her and did not stay with her at the end. She was too far gone to be helped even with the doctors' as I understood this poem. It is a sad piece of work but should be a warning to others to take heed and support their friends and help them til the end. True friends don't leave either.

Oh, Karla...too sad...but we never know what friends may do in despair...behind closed doors. We can only give our friendship and love...and pray. Well told, friend...
