I can truly relate. For the past two years I've been where you are. Only this week do I feel my life turning around. The one thing that has always been constant through good and bad times is my faith in God and the universe. Just keep the faith and things will begin to improve.

I enjoyed your rhyming couplets and admired your "stagecoach" metaphor. I am sorry your poem depicts depression--MinoYasue's painting the darkness. I hope life reveals its meaning. Best wishes- Joan

I've had days like this... when it just seems easier to leave it all behind. Fortunately, nothing is forever unless you allow it to be.... for better or worse.

Good poem. Strong emotion.

I really appreciated the intensity of this,not filled with self pity, just telling it like it is. You captured me with the way you expressed your plight, a beautiful evocation of feelings. The stagecoach metaphor was brilliant.
PS One small rhyming flaw could be easily be corrected ie. replace "will rot" with for example "is fraught" or "is taut"

Well done.

Your rhyming started off really basic, and I almost stopped reading because of it. However, it was interesting enough that it kept me going.

As the poem progressed, so did you rhymes. By the end you were doing much better.

I thought this was a good poem. Interesting read.

Interesting. In reading this well written, yet dark poem, one cannot not but wonder if you are trying to qualify for the "Dead Poets Society." :-)

Thanks for sharing this. JW

Oh my this is a very sad and hopless poem, and I hope it is fictional, and if otherwise I hope you feel better soon. The raw pain is evident and I have often felt this way, so know the feelings. Great poem.
