Hmnnn, this is so real and applies to so many. It is not gender biased for I have seen it happen to both sexes and the shell that is left over is truly sad.
Now this is one to read and ponder - too bad life isn't always pretty. Thank God for poets, though, who record all aspects of life, and who see the beauty amidst the ugliness of reality. I really like this one, Donna, uniquely crafted. Well done!
