Hi this is a very sad write. There is everything ...all elements that make a depression story. Yes when you are disabled or handicapped ,it is very hard to mix. I wonder why why cannot people see that you need them more than they need you. It is heartbreaking, very sad.i am touched.

A great poem about loneliness. I can truly relate to this poem as I am sure we have all had our lonely moments in life. This is such a real subject to write about. The art work is amazing too! Keep up the great work!

Scribe, this alliterated title, gloomy picture, despondent theme and somber
tone is only upstaged by extremely distressing holistic verbiage...A sober
and melancholic offering for the said contest. Good luck. teafor2

How sad it is to feel all alone. It does feel like being trapped in the grips of a dark beast whose claws just dig in and pull out your soul. You used amazing descriptive words. This unfortunately rings true for a lot of people. You wrote the poem very well. I enjoyed the read.

Oh yes, I've lost a lot of friends over the years, the say that death is a part of life, and that this cycle continues throughout our youth into middle age into our final moments, well done Marie, very contemplative,, beautifully written, blessings Roy

So well done. This felt a little like the walls are closing in. "Hovering between two worlds" is such a powerful line - it says so much in just a few words. Your poem hits hard and I can feel the emotion in every line. Even in its sadness, it has a strength to it. Keep writing - your words matter!

This free verse, Lonely Life, speaks of a life lived within an insular environment, where all could hurt or be bad is kept out. Of course, the same walls keep out joy, people, and life.

I hope this is not autobiographical as this is so very sad and sometimes we feel alone when we are surrounded by friends, a fine post for the contest, an emotional post, love Dolly x x x
