    The acrostic form is one of those forms that can flow from mind to page. Your one shows skill by using, mainly, one word running from top to bottom. Well done for this. Depression is a spectrum. For some it's a "I feel a bit low occasionally, but I usually shake it off" right through to, " why do I always hate myself, it must be because I'm worthless?" At the extreme, suicide, as you describe is the ultimate escape and sadly just a throwaway mention in some newspaper, now blowing down a lonely back alley.

    Well done, Em xx

    You know I have always thought extremely highly of your acrostic prowess, Em, and as sad as this one is, it is the equal of any you have penned.
