Unknown Enemy

Dedicated to all who suffer silently from depression...

Insidious mind...
Drowning in darkness no hope...
Inside out it eats.

This could refer to so many things that can hurt a person. Mental illness which can eat away at a person just as an incurable disease. Short but packed with a lot of meaning and insight. The pain isn't always evident for those around, but to the person feeling this, it tears them apart. Nice job!

[Steve L.]

Very good insight...I really appreciate your review. Thank you.

[Lydia Shutter]

Lots to think about in this one. Mental illness is unseen and often hidden in the shadows. Lydi**

[Steve L.]

I agree. Thank you.

Sounds like cancer. Though we know what to call it, we know not what it really is, except to say that it is a monster, an enemy for which all our best efforts to fight seems to fail. What a mouthful you have explained in only eleven words. Masterfully done.

[Steve L.]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. Cancer and depression are hitting very close to home right now.

[realmwriter]

I am sorry to hear that. I had my dealings with it as well and it hit me pretty hard at the time. But it did get easier for me and I am sure it will for you as well.

[Steve L.]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[realmwriter]

[Briana O'Connor]

Wow what a guesome tale in such few words. Very interesting read. It's creepy to the core. I can picture some hideous beast devouring a soul then piercing through the skin. Thank you for sharing.

[Steve L.]

You are very welcome.

A whooper of a bloody punch in so few words...'inside out it eats'...well said!

[Steve L.]

Thank you, Frieda. I really appreciate it.

[Frieda P]

My pleasure Steve, I'm always amazed when someone can suck that much emotion out of so few words.

[Steve L.]

It Is definitely a challenge with this type of writing.

wow... this one is short and powerful and in such few words accurately depicts the evil nature that is depression... it eats away at your mind until you lose that hope.. some people make the assumption that it is just something that you can just "get over" and choose to feel better, when that is truly not the case... I work in psych nursing and see all to well what it can do to not only the mind but the person as a whole and affect those around them... I am impressed sir..... well done Steve..

[Steve L.]

I agree...It is something that you cannot just get over. A silent assassin it is. Amazing review. Thank you.

[AprilRN1210]

It is always a pleasure Steve, you're welcome...

[Matching Socks]

Good write buddy, this is a tough demon to crack.

[Steve L.]

Thank you. And yes it is...a lifetime struggle.
