You've brought tears to the eyes of this poet! I don't think I've had such praise for anything that I've written.
You saw where it came from and where it ended. Yes, it came from a very deep abyss within my soul. So deep, I lost the very voice which helped me vocalize the pain within. Voices within tortured me for a few years, yet, when they silenced the voices, they also silenced the one I depended on the most.
It was when I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, everything held within came flooding out with my voice floating on top, lol. I have a poem about it, but haven't put it anywhere in a long time because of the pain it could cause others (and because it could really use some editing, lol). It was the first poem I'd written in over 30 years and the first thing I'd written in almost 10 years.
Someone who's never been through it, doesn't understand how deep depression can take you. It took a long time for me to climb to the top.
Oops, I get a bit long-winded at times, lol.
What I meant to say was "Thank you for the moving review of the poem I most identify with."
hugs,
Gail
