I have watched a movie just 3 days ago entitled, The Son / Son that tackles depression. Just like this wonderful poem. So gripping that if we have a member of the family that suffers from this sickness, there should be immediate intervention.
How is this for synchronicity: I too had watched that film 3 days ago. Rose Marie, I concur with your recommendation: be it family member, friend or acquaintance, immediate intervention is necessary. I've lost more than one friend through suicide because of depression.
2) Kevin, once again, I applaud you for your very courageous poem. This kind of poetry has the potential to save lives!
A mountain of poem on depression so vividly and brilliantly depicted. I concur with Richard 's comments. Very poignant indeed.
One of the very best heartrending, heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching poems about depression that I've ever read. Kevin, I salute you for having the courage to write poetry of such a sensitive nature. And as painful as it is to read...it opens another chamber to the reader's heart.
