Down

Life moves on and I stand still So many promises I need to fulfill Am I happy I don't know Round in circles here I go It's like crawling slowly up a hill

A searching write that finds strong support from many friends. I don't have depression, but know some who suffer from this. It would be fun to find or know of cure that might help everyone! Keep well, stay safe! Mikki

Hi Mikki, for me unlike Mike I find that being alone seems to amplify the deppression, my answer has been in writing and the friendship of loving people like yourself. Love Shane xxx

Oddly enough, my facebook status poem today was about going in circles. Shane if you are on facebook, come find us, there is tons of soupers there. :) we can all run in circles together

My dearest Jan thank you for looking at my poem, I know of all the troubles and pain you are facing and I know that the hill looks very high from where you stand but I also know that you have a resiliance inside of you that will get you over the top. You were my first friend on soup and are my dearest. Take care of yourself, I know next week will be hard. Love Shane xxx
