I like how your poem starts out, with a cry for help from someone who is in despair. Then the second half is uplifting and positive, the way it is formatted lends to this theme. Thanks for sharing and included the crisis number.

Dear Kapot, your authors notes helped enormously in understanding the theme of your poem.
As for the merits of this post, I would say both the illustration and the bright orange text work extremely well together, to describe the hell, those who suffer from depression, are living in. The second half of the poem demonstrates the process of climbing back out of the abyss very well.

Hello, Kym,

This is the third mental illness poem I read... it's interesting we are all thinking about it. I guess we live in hard times and we all feel it.

Thank you very much for adding the national suicide prevention crisis line.

Well done!

Hello again, my friend. Good cover of a sad reality in our society.

"that
staying
believing
turning around
facing all trouble
realizing I'm sound"

Best wishes. Bob

A work of art done so nicely in these two joining Nonets. The sentiment is so well received. Ready...

"turning around
facing all trouble
realizing I'm sound
living outside the bubble
and able to survive
accepting life and fighting to thrive"

Your double nonet poem is excellent in every respect--skillfully put together and vividly descriptive in its contrast of polar-opposite mindsets.
The message is powerful: One rises from a pit of despondency to the glory of life.

Dear Kahpot,
Your poem reflects the feelings we all feel at one time or another in life. I love the intensity your work reflects; life has taught many to fight.
I really believe if we pray we will be rescued in this life and their.
Excellent poem. The photo fits your words very well.
Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Cindy

This is a poignant nonet duo and although this is about depression it reminds me of how people are feeling just now at being penned in and having to isolate and trying to survive in a fearful world just now. Well chosen words here. Much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Great job with your double nonet. The first part brings us to the brink of ending life and the second one gives us hope to keep "fighting to thrive." Well done! This is the second anti-depression poem I've read today. Gypsy's also gives the number to call for help.
