    • It’s the same for most mental illnesses.
      Those that have never suffered from them cannot entirely understand what’s happening in the mind of the afflicted.
      My mental health illness of choice (as if I had any) was depression.Everyone looked for a reason as to why it happened and yes there may have been some reasons but essentially I am predisposed to it.
      They also presume medication will fix it when in fact it can’t.It can lessen the impact but the brain and the mind of a ‘ looney’ neuroplaticly savant ( I just made that up so no point googling it) in that it’s like trying to catch the wind and tame it.
      I’m rambling a bit but today is a suffering day and writing ,as you well know,calms the mind.Doesnt have to be good writing,just has to be good enough to quiet the mind.
      You’re husband is destined for heaven,if there is one,just tell him to keep away from my wife.They are saints in the making.It cannot be easy for either to understand our suffering but without them we probably wouldn’t be here?
      One final thing.For all the shit that depression brought it also helped kick open a door that let kindness and compassion flood into me.
      I often encounter people in social settings that trivialise or worse vilify those with mental health issues.What they don’t understand is they are only a bees dick away from themselves.
      You take care sweetie and I mean that from the heart of my bottom…lol.
      🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

      • hello dearest Benny I want to give you a proper response and I will but for now I just wanted to say thank you and hugs on a suffering day…depression is very difficult as I know 💕rest easy tonight…

          • good morning dearest Benny I often tell my husband he is due a reward for looking out for me there are so many areas I would be in danger on my own… a lot of people leave their spouces on a whim I don’t take mine for granted I know good and bad times come…I focus on what is worth my time and try to let the petty things go…he is my husband and caretaker I would be lost without him… you would think people would be understanding but sadly the ones that come near us are usually looking to take advantage of our diminished state…having a wife who understands you is beautiful…I know depression and know it often comes out of the blue and even when nothing is wrong it is unexplainable and it hurts when others say what’s wrong or just snap out of it I know it’s painful…I really appreciated your understanding but I didn’t mean to ramble so much your comment brough a lot of things to light like how grateful I am for my husband though imperfect has stood by me through the storms have a beautiful day today 💕

    • thank you beautiful Mary it’s just what I’ve been through go through I deeply appreciate the lovely comment and understanding 💕

    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. The human mind is powerful, but it can be like putting together a puzzle, with very vague directions. Amazing write my friend, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • thank you dearest Damian it can be I do my best with what I have I get frustrated though when society still wants me to jump social hoops… especially when they know of my difficulties I deeply appreciate you 💕

    Another Problem Solved

    • Dear D,

      You still got it. An incredible meter. Made me want to sing this. The imagery played in my head of a dark bus stop. Why? No clue. But the players in this piece for me, were intertwined. Trying to run but wanting to stay. I have a longer version running in my head but I’ll spare you the directors cut😊
      Wonderful write. H🌷

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, H. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I sometimes have that effect, it’s just the lyricist in me. lol. I always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Haha great end there, friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I liked it as well. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Just reading Honoria’s comment above & I think she’s right. This one might need to be considered for your lyrics list on the album. It has a cadence that moves & the visual is captivating. Worth considering, my friend? 🤔

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Anything is on the table, maybe even spoken word. Never say never. The song I’m working on, I literally had to start writing lyrics to it. None of the old words were fitting the vibe. Also, I haven’t tried to write a song for many summers now. I kinda forgot sometimes the music leads the dance. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I remember this piece. I enjoyed it then, and I enjoy it now. Nice Damian.;))

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Cool! Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • hello dearest Damian I feel you I’m in love but the need for another hit outweighs romance great write 💕

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Indeed. Appreciate you.

    • That for me is the best thing you’ve ever posted.
      Fear is what the rotten folks want us to feel as we become easier to manipulate.
      I read and listen and weep for us all but then I put it aside, find a nice warm spot outside and marvel.
      Don’t let the bastards grind you down.
      This piece is a work of heart and art.👍

      • The irony is that I wrote this one in 2019. It’s just as…if not more…relevant today. I keep a ready eye on it but I also keep beauty & love as close as possible. I can’t help but wonder…as long as there are humans, will it always be dark times? Thank you

    • “We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” – Viktor E. Frankl

      Inhumanity has never been able to erase humanity. Love is too strong.

      • I can’t even begin to express what your comment means to me. It’s the glimmers that keep us going & the sparks that keep the fire lit. Thank you

    • I can’t speak for other places but here in the West, the majority of people have no idea where they came from or why they do things. We have everything at the touch of a button….parts & products that are part & parcel of this Beast System that gives us round the clock heating and air-conditioning and movies & songs & poetry sites all in an instant…a system which must collapse at some point. Guess who gets to live through this calamity? Yep, you ‘n me lol. Could be the end of the world…as we know it anyway.

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! We are definitely kindred spirts my friend. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, that we keep repeating the same mistakes, never learning from history. Spitting facts on this one, excellent write as always. Top notch! Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Sadly, this isn’t even a new write. From the last time the cheeto soiled the oval office. So disheartening. But…& it’s a big but…I see more outcries & uprising this time. That alone gives me hope. Thank you, my friend

    • It’s like people have forgot their humanity. I also hate this whole trying to erase history. History is ugly but it’s truth is how we learn. Fabricating the past will only guaranteed repeating it.

      Great ink, friend.

      • They’re trying to erase history so there’s no backtrail on the atrocities they intend to return to. They don’t want the playbook in circulation. The only reason to erase history is to repeat it. Too many of us are “woke” though & I’m seeing a lot more resistance to the system than before. This isn’t new. Just new faces to the same old hates. Thank you, my friend

    • I agree that they are trying to erase history so the future generations can not learn from mistakes made in the past. I was watching a movie where a woman hid a book of her family’s history so she can teach her children what happened and where they came from and I fear that we may have to hide our history so we can educate in secret and that is sad.

      • I was thinking about how much of my family history went to the grave with my grandparents because nobody besides me took interest in asking about it. I see the erasure of history in this country & it terrifies me. Oral history & snatching what history books already exist in order to hide & protect them for future generations looks more & more like the reality we’re approaching. I guess that’s where we come in…words are our gift. Lay them bare. Can’t bury us all & our words. Thank you

    • Fantastic work. Right on.
