Description: To start Im not sure on the tile. Help?
Its kinda of a wierd one this. Its not just about myself, although thats where it stems from. I was struggling with depression and wouldnt tell anyone but then I just had to and since then I've felt a little better already. The point is why do we have to equate sharing a problem with being weak? It does help to get support and everyone knows at least one person who will help!
There was a great deal of Old Testament wisdom reflected in this simple and straightforward piece. King Solomon extolled the sense in two sharing a load rather than one alone.
Pride and shame are the usual suspects in keeping someone from sharing a burden.
Depression is a far more serious illness than most people are aware of.It can leave you on the brink of your own sanity and it takes courage to ask for help with that,i know ive been there and it took till i got very ill to ask for help so i can relate to this perfectly.the words express your cry for help well.it does get better with help and in time goes away completely,an honest,simple well written piece. graham
It IS strange that admitting you may need a little help along the path of life can be considered a weakness. When the easiest ointment of all, and the start of healing, comes with telling someone...that's why therapists are all rich!
I liked your little poem, it speaks the truth simply.
Great job, this actually made me think for a minute or two. This poem is quite interesting, its like you made a simple question into a very well written poem. When read it comes with a sense of ease yet an honest interrgation. But I like it. I'd rate this poem a 8.9 out of 10. Keep the poems comming.
Very well done. I admire it's straight forward simplicity. We're as sick as our secrets huh? Keeping things in is something we all do. I'm so glad that you had the good sense and courage enough to seek help. I would not change a word. Bill
I love this. Every word is so true. I used to say that talking was overrated, but I've been realizing lately that it actually does help. There are still some things that I would really rather let eat at me than talk about though. I dont know... lol Im still working on it. Anyways, you worded this perfectly. I really like how it rhymed. I usually dont like positive poems (they make me sad), but this is awesome. Great job
That is a good piece of work a lot of people are trying to write really long poem and a lot of time ( like this) it is very good to be short a sweet and straight to the point. As far as the title goes I am afraid I cannot help you there because with me the title is something that is just as inspired as the poem (a lot of times I have a title before the poem) Many times the title does not come until I type it up and proof it. So I f you do not like the one try reading it a few times and go from there. Other than that I can not help.
