Your tree deserves to grow
L. B. Mek said:

I too, cling to whatever perch my life grants me to rest upon, from all the toiling and wishful planning, while other\'s - seemingly unaware of what promise gravity - awaits to greet with, simply rush-on by - lost: in their dreams of pinnacle vantages...
a contemplative write, wonderfully worded dear Poet

Careful.... there\'s always someone looking for a fallen apple hoping to bake a pie on the cheap.

....but, prince in frogs clothing, he could be you saviour.

Wow....beautifully done but remember there will always be dark & light it all depends on what we wish to focus on.

Ended so magnificently, with not many wish to have an honest open conversation...

Inspirational stuff!
Keep up the write

Another very good poem EF, right from the heart with a lot of truth in it. I love the line \'An instagrammable lover\'. You made up a great word here. I might even steal it from you for one of my future scribbles.
You are right, I do feel sorry for my grandchildren and do hope the world will become a better place. And poems like this will help draw attention to these problems. Well done!

I can understand why it might be difficult to find for many today, but is there nothing you can identify as funny, amusing, optimistic?

Stay safe, your words are haunting but so true as I have also suffered from depression. I hope you get some peace and a better mindset.

Depression is a terrible thing, EF. My wife has been fighting it for many years. I don\'t know what is best, but Jerry is right, you may get better if you get help.

Well-written poem EF.
I am not qualified to treat you, however, I know from experience depression can be challenging. If it is a chemical imbalance in your body there are meds for it. If not you will need therapy. There is help. Stay Safe dear heart.

Trigger warning Eating Disorder

That’s a lucid description of a disorder which to many (including to some extent, me) is puzzling. Definitely makes the subtleties clearer.
Felt a great lift at the end, where hope appeared as you have apparently found a way out.
Good luck for the future.

you write on meaningful and important subjects that are socially pertinent, though may not be experienced by society\'s majority,
yet your words read relatable with how much you choose to divulge of your own testimony or other\'s... thanks for sharing your wonderful talent and helping readers like me evolve, to become a little less ignorant...
another great write!

Never mind Instagram models. They\'re vain and stupid. Let\'s not copy them. They get enough vain publicity anyway.
I suspect the human frame was never suited to be a size 4.
Hope you find the way through this :)
