Welcome to the site. These questions that you’re asking are coming from a place of deep awareness. It takes courage to admit you’re sad or depressed. It takes courage to ask yourself what might be causing this state. It takes courage to face any answers you might find. Writing is an emotional sort of thing and I’m glad you’ve found writing helpful. Likewise, I’m glad you found your way here. I love the support I get from the members. They’re kind and friendly and really unique in their talents and aspirations. They urged me to become a better writer.

If you need an ear my inbox is open here. Don’t hesitate to reach out. You’ve got people here.

The poem is good. Unfortunately, those answers are hard bought and ever changing. “Once in awhile you’ll get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.”

Welcome,
Tim

to as many people as I can each day, but I get tired easily these days.
I saw that you have written a few that I haven't seen and thought that I should help you find you way here on Neo.
Tim is a very good poet and and I know that he is sincere whan he says that he will try to help you.
Yes, we have a great many poets here that are very good, and the ones that comment on your work are usually able to at least give you encouragment.
I liked the way that you have asked the questions and the way that you ask for help. When you say that you are not actively editing,
people think that you will not change anything, even if they tell you what they think is wrong, so they don 't bother.

Usually, we do not critique harshly, we are trying to help you become a better poet than you are, and that is not a help.
It just makes you feel like you aren't good enough to be bothered with. I'm sure that once you learn your way around here,
that you will make friends and gain fans. I like the way that you have laid out your poem. I'm not sure that I understand who [them] is so it may help if you try to make that clear.
Otherwise, I think that you have done a good job.
Your title is fine, the language is good and plain, not forcing one to think about what the words mean.I like the pace, which is steady but cautious.
Right away, I felt that I knew what your questions meant. The ending has you asking where your answers are, and I think that you will start getting some. Hang in there!
