MELTING AWAY

I feel like I am letting everyone down

For all the selfless ones whom have cared for me

What could I possibly have to offer at this point

Except my personal state of misery

I wake up and attempt to convince myself

One day I will have a purpose in this life

Until the next day when I awake and realize

I would rather run away or die

So everyone else can be happy without me

As a burden and not being able to provide

A normal life for such loving people I know

This is the worst feeling in the entire world

I want to be free from this depression

That suppresses me from believing

In anything and everything but me

Hello Val, I truly love how you are bringing awareness to Lyme Disease. A talented writer such as yourself has found usefulness in helping others with the same condition, and you are inspiration for them. I really think all that you endure has made you stronger maybe not physically but definitely mentally, I can tell by the way you write in your words and how it carries you. Im here for support an ear anytime anything. Love the write, always your friend, Devon.

Your poem took me to a place that I have frequented time to time.  A place called 'I fail everyone.'  Thankfully it's only a temporary stop on the road of life.
