Can you?

...I said to myself...

One of the worst things about despair is the sense of loneliness; of complete, unassailable isolation. The certain knowledge that only you can take those first, all but impossible, steps which begin the climb out of the abyss.
It's the hardest thing in the world to do; and can only be accomplished by the person who, in that moment, is singularly incapable of doing it. Many never manage to do it. Many of us do.

In this poem, you convey that with the simple; but devastatingly effective: rhetorical/poetic device of self-communion. The repetition of the above quoted line which pulls the whole piece together.
It's deftly handled and extremely powerful. In fact, the whole poem is.

Powerful, moving and really quite beautiful.

Dear DUNEMOON!!....I think Jason has expressed my feelings about this piece well..... but..... if I may add this one thing.......... it is in the LIGHT....... not the DARKNESS....... where the gray area can be  most powerfully expressed.......ALL STARS!!...... kick ass write!!.......LOVE and ROCKETS!!.....T xo. ?☀✴♥♥

We are our own worse enemy. That is for certain. The mind seems to be a storm cloud which so much chaos continously spins out of control. 

This piece - to me...reflects so much of that very thing.
