The new millennium brought with it
Depression so severe I tried to quit
Lengthy hospitalization
Another prolonged vacation
New meds finally found
To get my feet back on the ground
that was my best in your poem.
A sad one though it is but an impressive poem.
Your rhymes are impeccable and i really value your message.
Thanks for sharing!

Still no relief, Debbie? This is just the saddest poem ever--your series of health problem are so debilitating.
Sorry that the surgeries have been useless.
Take care.

This is amazing Debbie. The six stars are not out of pity but rather the way you've been able to portray, all that you've had to deal with in a poetic way. The technical aspects are very well done; rhyming, rhythm, and strong images, etc... I think anyone who has suffered from depression, illnesses without how to deal with them, and/or other disabilities, will appreciate your advocating for them by explaining what it feels like. A very powerful and thought provoking poem. Well done Debbie! xxx deb

Debbie my friend, the very fact that you could write/share about your pain is reflective of your courage to face the challenge; you penned your emotions extremely well in superb rhyme/rhythm; keep the faith and keep writing, God bless you.

Comment from Barlock
Oh, my God! What a story.
It just proves how fragile human beings are. Hard to imagine what you went through.
Good poem, but it would be even better if you used some punctuation.
Cheers,
JB

I have just retired from a career involved with advocating for people with disabilities. You speak very well to the challenges felt. Your voice is useful as many others can not express it as well. I think you have found your direction, its your poetry and writing. Hope to read more from you soon

I read your profile and would love to know more. If you don't feel like sharing openly, You could Pm me. I am trying to write a dook called "The Disability Experience" with both poems and short stories. It is found in bits and pieces acress FS as I have been feeling to poorly to actually put it together and try to secure a grant to help with funding publication costs. My goal is not really to make money, although that would be nice, it is to reach as many as possible, both disabled and not. Thank you so much for your kind review!!! ~Debbie

It is a devastating picture that you paint here with your words and then your picture choice really ladens it down even more. The heaviness of your life touches me so much and dampens the cheeks, how I wish I had an answer for you,but I don't - but I can offer up a prayer...Dinah
