Disheartened

Head downcast, left out No sign of happiness there Depressed, disheartened Sadness reigns within his mind Hurt man, a destroyed ego

You certainly have portrayed the loneliness of a depressed man. I wish he could see what a wonderful world he has inherited from God. The turmoil is manmade and should not be. Thank you for your ever so kind comments about my poem. Love, Joyce
