What a tragic but all so real dilemma faced by so many young people today. Are we at fault, or is it just the impossible expectations we place on our kids? This truly is an exceptional write.

Thanks for the encouraging comments and high rating. It is sad that any children feel this way or that the poor may feel this way.

Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi there,
Such desolation expressed in this poem, but then the picture evoked a lot of sad emotions. You captured a lot of this within the lines of your piece. Thank you for sharing,

Comment from Aussie
I also wrote for "Despair on the Street." I liked your poem written in the first tense. These young people are becoming a common sight and violence-driven. Drugs fuel their unacceptable behavior. Look to the parents I say.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Many young people feel despair and infusing them with hope and giving them the tools to carve a bright future is something that is not often afforded to some. A point at write, love Dolly x x x

Comment from teafor2
Dragonpoet, this sounds an awful lot like some one may not be opposed
to an intervention of some type, if given a chance...For any number of reasons you perceive that you are unapproachable, and that others don't
want to approach you for their on reasons and/or perception(s). A tricky
situation, but you have limned your "case" beautifully in the last two stanzas. teafor2

Thanks for reading and reviewing my poem.
It is not autobiographical. It is written from the point of view of the person in the picture.

Comment from Janet Foor
Darkness and despair does fit this picture. Your poem reflects that feeling. The imagery of darkness, despair, shadows and blinded are all evident In your well written poem.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
A very powerful poem that echoes the picture used to accompany it. The rhymes work well and the words flow nicely. A strong message about those living on the street and how it's up to us to ignore the fear and help them and in doing so we help ourselves and society in general. At least that's what I got from it. I could be wrong lol. Nice job.

Comment from Ben Colder
I must agree with the saying that fear is the only thing we should fear. As a Christian, I have learned to give all my fears to the Lord. He knows what to do. Thanks for sharing your entry.

Yup, you depicted so well the feeling of despair and of being lost inside yourself that is nothing left for me to do or add. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Comment from Douglas Goff
Okay, at first glance this did not make sense to me. Upon further scrutiny it made complete and total sense to me.
What a great thought-provoking piece!
