Despair

No comment, I think the words speak for themselves...

despair…


weighs at my heart like an anchor


erases my smile and forces tears


refuses me the option to live


denies me the right to die


holds me with contempt of myself


offers few avenues of escape


I grow weary and tired of the fight

powerful words of loss of hope
which is in reality a soul seeking to be need
and love a soul that is very lonely and sadness has taken place this is a case of the depression and despair are plain and the plea for help is certainly clear!
well expressed depression and despair!
Truthfully this worries me as I have a son who suffers
From depression its call BY-Polar so I recognise the symptoms
Be careful take care Love And Peace Always...Morning Star

Fee...dearest Fee,
I'm alarmed. Here's the strong man with a lion's roar and the tender heart of a small lad. What is it I can do. I want to give you strength and power and I also want to curl up and cry. What has transpired within your emotions to leave you like this? Get on your bike and roar. Come get me and let's take off for a long weekend. Let me do something. Hold on to hope. I pray this passes. You are the bear here at the Den and you are the huge heart that has helped so many others. I will hold you in my thoughts and send warm currents of energy to enforce your will. Hang in there.
Love,
Susan

you've expressed an emotional fatigue well, Felix...this poem itself wearies me, and that is a compliment to the poet.

Be well, Felix.

That's why you must fight it. Despair leads nowhere. If necessary open up your heart with someone else. Victor
