Deepunderground Depression
the site is dwindling
with so little interaction
when did we go on disconnect
not supporting each other
I've been taking the pulse of the place
is it just me or does it seem listless?
once there was a family
DUP poets with fierce passion
I get my inspiration here
I am driven to connect with your heart
I feel disenchanted when I fail to reach you
have we stopped caring about poetry
tell me family what's on your heart?
what's wrong?
is your blood not stirred lately?
have we become dysfunctional ego maniacs
only worried about ourselves?
I know there are days I fail to show my support
I get in a funk
clinically depressed
I'm worried is DU under duress?
I know as artists we are temperamental
the site seems to be struggling
is it just me or is this a mass depression?
I just wanted to drop you all this message
if you have the time pick a poet today
and show them some love
you never know how this small act will effect someone
dig deep into the poetry being offered
by doing so you are picking the fruit of inspiration
let's remember one another today
and keep DU alive

I'm still here!
Just, sometimes I don't have a lot to say....
I can't say I've noticed any major changes, but I also get busy with life and then get behind on reading my poets, so there's always lots for me to do when I do get here. And I suppose the tone of the place will differ for each of us depending who we're following. Some of the forums seem to be going strong.
Don't stop trying to connect! You're beautiful, and your poets will return before long, I just know it.

It seems to come and go. There are poems that I should comment on, and oddly the right words escape me. And the result is I don't. I've seen some people disappear and some don't comment anymore. But hey, I am content if I get one comment. Though I will say, there is such a volume of stuff being produced that it is hard to even keep up sometimes. Okay, I've rambled.

I see it how i see the world now. Everything becomes cheep and unappreciated. No real love, just false smiles to gain some kind of attention. Though I'm a bit doom and gloom somedays lol. People like you remind me what this place was. I do miss that place, and the people. Poetry is my love and that's what I do. Great ink.

thank you dear Brenda as i appreciate you as well dear soul as long as there is thoughts there will always be words to speak from the mind and heart to be put down from pen to paper, for remember we control our thoughts as well as our emotions for through our unspoken words, we do get heard for it may seems that knowone hears us but remember the mind is a human computer for what the eyes see the mind reads as the heart feels the passion that runs deeper than deep...one love with respect

I’m always around but insanely busy with my 2 jobs outside of here —very little time to be online and when I am , my time is spent doing mod duty between here and Facebook DUP & writing up the weekly poet features to stay ahead of that.
No inspiration, time or interest lately to write my own poetry and it’ll come back once my students go on their clinical internships in 3 weeks , which will free up some time for me.
Everything in life , cycles , including here!

Dearest Brenda, life has been a tyrant with me lately. Work, personal problems and, let's admit, a bit of depression too, have overtaken my spirit and my inspiration. I hope and pray that it ends soon. But I always drop in and try to read and feel the emotions of every poet I read. I try to comment when I feel a true connection. It's not bad will, just a bad time. My muse has been in lethargy. Thank you for caring. Hugs J

You are a part of the family, silly one. You keep a piece of Liam here too. I realize we've yet to connect, but I've watched you as an outsider. Not as in stalking, lol, as in I've been in a funk & watching without logging in. Liam's suicide was yet another thing to keep me from entering these doors. Sigh. Here's your Official " Pandy's welcome to the family" greeting. 💌

I was in such a funk when I added this the other day, I couldn't comment. It brings tears to my eyes, but HF nailed both points...
"There were moments, when the ink flowed in iridescent rivers. The heartache felt as good as the joy. We would gather round a poem and hold our hearts up to warm them by its heat. Even then, I knew it wouldn’t last. I drank it greedily and will again, when the stars align. "
I remember this feeling so damn well & have only truly been a part of what I call,
" our family " for the past 6 months or so. It sure feels longer. It hurts that we're missing crow, Bender, Taryn's return & quick leave, and quite a few others. Even Willow is in the process of the same. Ugh. 😭Plus, we just aren't as united , I guess is why I feel displaced here lately. Only you could pull this write off , just like you mend our wounds. But HF is right, the stars will once again align. I believe it's time to start dedicating poems too.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

hello beautiful one I realized that I'm so sorry depression has hit you... I myself went through weeks of it recently...I feel bad when I'm so apathetic the best I can do is sit here silently... I can't bring myself to read comment or reply and I feel really bad a about that this disconnection is partly my fault I feel... I fear I hurt peoples feelings when I get like this...sigh...yes HF is right with his beautiful comment and it will be so again... I get so sad when we lose people I wonder if I did more to make them feel love they would have stayed... now Jeff you say that makes me really sad...
I'm so happy to see you here tonight beautiful one... I hope your new meds help... mine help but only so much I still have off days... I'll make a pact with you I'm not going anywhere for long anyway I will get depressed but I will always return to myself... I'm sending you my love tonight...
I love you 🌹

As I told you by PM, never assume responsibility for any of this families disruption! I'm trying to piece ideas together that can bring us closer. ..the few of us left. Where oh where is our sweet Willow, is my worry now. She promised a heads up. *sigh*... perhaps it's her busy & newly changed life. Jim returned & sent me a pm about his disappointments. He felt so invited until someone accused him of being Liam & some other negativity. His writing today was a release & he's stated, he's not interested in making friends anymore at this point. Wtf, sigh, damn....😕
Hugs & love 💟
