No Love

No love there
Where pessimism reigns
And paranoia trails after
feelings of inferiority.
No love offered, none given
Furthermore none wanted
It would just complicate a life
Already in the throes of clinical
Depression, feelings of self
Loathing and desires to keep
From interacting with anyone.

Excellent poem Judy, and so true. There are times we all need to recognize this. Hugs to you.

This poem is very sad...life without love would be a hard life. Depression would not help. Seems like it would be a vicious circle and difficult to find a way out.

sad sccinct poem. It fits a few people I know very well - nails the despair in which they live. You pull no punches. I just spent an hour with someone who feels like the voice in your poem, and the poem helps me process.
