Oh yes, the dark side of the moon... not a pleasant trip, but happily for most life DOES seem to go in cycles as long as you can redeem the all-important sense of self. Can see it all - first starts when your own body becomes a host... then the early days of motherhood can exacerbate that sense of "belonging" to everything and everyone else. The rewards can also be immense, too: who else can claim to rock the cradle that rocks the world? I wonder if there is a male parallel to this "syndrome"? I'd be interested to see it written about. Hormonally, it seems to me, men are always aware of their own selves and pace themselves to suit - even if they are the world's sweetest and loving "givers". Thank you as always for your love and concern for the "female condition". Men like you make us glad to be women, I'm sure. LOL Kate xx

I have seen this happen so many times, Felix, you offer a clear picture of her life. The computer can be both a blessing and a curse. Most people lie and steal hearts of those searching for someone to understand. In the end, they dump them back into their dark life wounded once again by someone they foolishly gave their heart to.
Take care,
Sherry

Felix, this is a powerful read, so hauntingly true to life, you tell it unflinchingly, and lovingly. Not an easy thing to do. I hope she finds what she is looking for and needs.

Be well,

Kathy

Yes, I could see some parts of me in there. I have found though that the Internet is not an answer to the emptiness. It only adds to one's misery, as it becomes a great big interactive fantasy. It is totally unreal. ~ Sara

This could describe many women, and it can actually be men too. It takes a lot to ask for what you are entitled to, and most of us just go on with life trying to accept that, that is all there is to our lives. Sad fact. Very good poem. Karen

Felix, this is a striking composition, which clearly illustrates the trials and tribulations one goes through living and trying to make ends meet in this mixed-up world. It�s an unfortunate situation whenever anyone feels slighted or neglected. Hopefully your friend will find the solace they�re seeking. Excellent work. Thank you for sharing it. Take good care and be well.

For no other reason, Felix, we must honor the computer. It brings more people into some kind of understanding than any media or organized group has done, in totality, from the beginning of mankind;s communicating with another. Bravo - for a good one - showing the sadder side of our existence. You are a reconize humanitarian! - Bill
