Depression is a Family Illness
PerditaRose said:
There are many ways to let our children down. I\'ve gone so far as to apologize to my son for things that I didn\'t do or didn\'t do right. I\'ve even told him it\'s alright if he comes to realize that he hates me. But he doesn\'t see it that way because he loves me and he knows I love him. Children accept things as they are. They will take as much as you can give. If dad does more than mom, that\'s okay. I have leaned heavily on my husband through the years. We are not a glossy picture in a magazine, we are a family. Nothing can change that. If you are speaking of yourself, do not lose faith.

Depression is a Family Illness
Paul Bell said:
Depression sure is the silent killer in more ways than one.
A lot of people carry that weight, and although there is help, sometimes it\'s getting it.

Sad, dark, with a sense of hopelessness is the disease and so the poem as well. Nicely put together in a very personal manner spoken in the first person. Nicely done Katie

I love the metaphor of outgrowing her gown. Death but a change and we out grow life moving on to a larger size and so too our memories outgrow the past and move on to new growth. A lovely write

Beauty turned ruin and the thoughts that accompany it from splendor to slime. They say we are only as good as the last thing we do and so it is with the river too. A lovely write Katie that carries with it a darkness and depressive air that settles heavy on the heart.

Katie this poem presents an image that comes from distant memory. It seems to represent memory itself with its flowers and decorations but at the same time its peeling paint. Time passes and this poem seems to represent that. A most lovely work
