Comment from Eunice Amero
Its awful to be alone but worse to thimk you are i n hell. If a person doesnt know the Lord personaly there is no hope for them so they have to go to hell. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from juliaSjames
The haibun is deserving of six stars in its own right. But the sixth star is also given in recognition of the exceptional courage of you the author in sharing this dark moment from your life.
I'm happy you lived through it for your sake and for the sake of your family.
The write is uncompromising and the final poem made me shiver with empathy.
I hope composing this was cathartic, dear Gypsy. Such negativity needs to leave your system.
May God and his holy angels continue to watch over you and yours.
Keep writing and good luck in this POM contest.
Stay safe

Thank you very much, Julia. I pulled inspiration for this haibun from my own history but it has been a long time since my last chronic depression....knock on wood. It all depends on medication, sometimes they stop working. So far so good. Besides, I live with my daughter and grandson. I take care of him... It helps a lot.
Thank you very much for understanding and emphasize. I really appreciate your exceptional review and six stars. God bless you, Julia.

Comment from Mark Schardine
over barren hills
with destination unknown --
utterly alone
When despair imposes itself on us, others can only hope that we survive and somehow recover.

This is a very sad write about someone's struggle to feed their family during the pandemic with loss of income and the desperation of destitution and poverty looming, how very sad, love Dolly x

Comment from kahpot
To combine prose and poem takes skill and you have an abundance, you have meshed hope against weakness, strength against hopelessness, yet mans desire to want to live, an exceptional read, very well written****kahpot

Comment from karenina
To read that this is based on your life makes me want to weep. SO beautifully you have written...capturing the ebb and flow of hope to the ultimate decision that one more moment of pain was too much to bear! I am so glad you were able to survive this lowest period--and look, look what you had to offer to all of us? Not only this incredible work, but all of what you write belies and intelligence and talent that knows no boundaries! I pray that all who read will realize there is a path, however hidden, out of darkness. You are beloved Gypsy. Thank God he blessed us all with you!

Comment from Sherry Asbury
This is so sad, my dear one. I too travel that path of thought but always stop in time. I wish you had, but am glad for the kind care you received. You are so special and I love you, even if you have trouble loving yourself. May the Enlightened one hold you close and heal you!
