These three tersets seem to be about battling to understand COVID and how it has changed our lives. It could also bring in a little depression.
But helping people is a good way to combat this and help others to too.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Having little to do with the pandemic, per se, it has much more to do with those of us who embrace personal struggles along our journeys through life. Thank you, Joan. And may you stay healthy as well.

Thanks, Sanku. I appreciate the partial quote of my piece and yes, it is not only true but one of my favorite lines in my poem. Thank you for sharing, likewise.
Have a great day,

Comment from Reese Turner
Well Jesse, since I usually believe a poet's words to be fairly accurate reports of that poet's life, I do believe you have come down a rocky road and you are approaching a better highway. Hold on to that hope and keep releasing through your righting. Best wishes.

You are absolutely correct when it comes to my writing. I share my struggles so that others might relate, as well as the cathartic effect I experienced when I wrote this poem.
Thank you, Reese, for the excellent review and rating.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
It sounds like you have survived a dire situation. I resonate with what you are saying with one exception. I had determined early on that I should never expect others to do for me what was strictly my responsibility. So, when those times came I fortified my spirit with prayer. God helped me through.

Comment from jake cosmos aller
very nicely done personal poem about struggling with one's personal demons and eventually discovering how to deal with the reality of life and cards you have been dealt.

Good for you, Jesse! It takes a lot of strength to do what you are doing, especially in the times we're living now. So many people are suffering with depression. Hope, determination, and desire to achieve it will take you all the way there. Well done! :)) Sandra xx

Thank you so much. You have made my day with your kind six-star review! And, yes, we had a difficult year, yet my personal struggles had little bearing on the pandemic. I journey through my mind and seek true peace and of course, hope. I am glad you liked the picture I chose for this. But you are right when you say that we are all in this together and this has been a difficult year. Thanks, again, for the exceptional rating.
Have a great day,
Jesse
