Depression

Strange sardonic shadow stands and stares, 
                       but  when I turn and look their spent force

Spirited less and scraggly   I have become set.  Hallucinations or are they real?

Congratulations, Eve - you made it real. The little 'Captcha' box says "YAY." (It really does. : ) -- On a lighter note, yes, they are real - you have described some of my co-workers.

This was an amazing piece of poetry Eve. The depth of these motions and the loneliness are definitely felt in your words.
