I am a cancer survivor and sometimes have a bout with short-term depression. For me the pain of depression is worse. Cancer attacks the body; depression the soul. Best wishes with your entry.

Even before I read your author's notes, I felt this was a depression "cancer". I too have these tunnels(my description).
Seems that with each one it is harder to see the "light". My oldest son inherited this illness from me. I think we keep each other alive.

Aww K I hope you find a light to guide you from the tunnel permanently. It's so hard at times. Doubly so for you, as your boy has it too. Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.

So glad you are feeling better, this had to be a dark place to live. The past has to be left behind, but easier said than done. A touching poem, a fine entry for the contest, good luck.

Hi, You write your truth so well and understand the taunts that ravage your mind,that is the start of healing. Just believe in yourself, learn to love yourself as much as you love your precious little girl. We never lose the experiences we receive but we do have the choice of how to use those experiences as bad as they may have been. You are not to blame, forgive yourself! This story just makes me sad but it is to powerful not to give it what it deserves. I am always online to talk anytime. Kind and loving thoughts.James xx

Thank you so much for understand the poem. It seems my likening the way cancer ravages the body, to the way depression does the mind, has made many people think I'm talking about cancer and not depression.

Sorry, I meant to thank you so much for the wonderful six and very kind offer to talk also.

my pleasure, you deserved the six and you know where i am, anytime
Comment from jshep
Cancer is a daily battle, I know! You definitely expression the emotions well in your poem. The rhyme works well. I thought the meter was a bit bumpy in spots. As a whole the poem is excellent. My main suggestion is that you could tighten it up a bit and the emotions become redundant. Just my personal observation.
I am so glad you have managed to get through the depression and pull yourself up from a terrible abyss. I get the opinion that your cancer is better or cured. I sure hope so.
The presentation was quite strong and good luck in the contest. J

Thank you so much for your very kind review. The poem is about how depression is like a 'cancer'. The way it ravages your mind and get's into your very core, is how cancer runs the body ragged. Hope this makes sense to you, apologies for any misunderstanding.

Cancer is indeed a scary thing, This poem is about how depression is 'like a cancer'. It's runs through your psyche in much that same insiduous way that cancer ravages the body. Sorry I didn't mean to mislead anyone.
