Loneliness Comes In Blues

Loneliness comes in blues Mood strikes serotonin falls Night is on snake venom Burning like coals. I am alone I am alone Where's my wife? Where's my son? Who cares? The world is on shares. Curtain of depression falls I am in rabbit whole Cutting my souls Neurons are in brawls On all my existence Scroll of depression rolls. NOTE: This is a true story. 2001. I suffered a bout of depression. I felt extreme loneliness. But this was a symptom of my disease. In fact my wife and my son did everything they could.

I can relate to the lonely feelings you've expressed here. I think all of us go through times like this.... My aunt also suffers from depression and it has not been easy for my family to watch her go through that.... I wish you the best of luck in Frank's contest. Great work, Rajat!

Rajat My Very Good Friend!! Best of Luck in the contest with this write. Your rhyme narrative is quite compelling given that it is a true story. I do hope the best for you and that your recovery continues to be 100%!! A most definite "7" from me and this one's a FAV too!! (I just posted a Tanka on "Love" a few minutes ago. Your write here is about "Depression" and I ended up writing about "Love" this evening -- what a dichotomy and difference!!) Best Wishes with Love and Energy!! Gary
