~monster Under My Bed~ Comments

Souren me lad, The site is a little emptier with out your participation I will write to you personally and tell you of an upcoming Oogie episode of which just you and I shall know. We can share the secret. Stay warm my friend.

In childhood we all are scared of a monster under our bed. Here you have used it in a metaphoric sense for your state of depression. The dark images you have used convey depression very well. I find it a very artistic write. It's a theme many people can relate to. In the fast-paced modern world depression is a huge reality. Writing is a way of letting out the steam inside us. You have expressed yourself really well through this write. I hope you will beat depression n emerge stronger. I actually visited your page for inspiration n it's good to see you are writing again.

Hi Souren. It's been awhile since I've visited your page and I'm sorry to hear that you are not well. What Kelly said is correct, This is a disease and you have to fight that monster with everything you have. Keep writing. We support you. You are a wonderful poet and caring individual.

You will come back..... stronger and healthier! DON'T SUBMIT YOURSELF TO ABSOLUTE HELPLESSNESS! I feel for you as much as i feel for my son. My son is of your age. I HAVE ALWAYS A FEELING THAT YOU ARE IMMENSELY GIFTED. You shouldn't be shattered or broken. This world is not smooth for anyone. We might be misunderstood and misjudged by others and will be left in pain. But we shouldn't break like shards of glass. PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME IN THE WORLD WHO CARE FOR YOU. With a multiple fracture on my left arm, today I feel greater pain than any of the recent days. Still I write these lines as I care for you. Cheer up, Souren!

My dear friend, Souren. I could very well have written that verbatim. (Except for the name 'Neena') I think that you are stronger than you know, this poem is proof. Take as much time as you need but continue to write and even read. Mental disease is just that, a disease. Nothing of which to be ashamed or to shame. Peace and love my brother.
