Shaking With Misery



So when you are
Down and out,
Hopeless,
Helpless,
Shaking
With misery,

Read this,
From me,
Your very own
Jekyll and Hyde,
Beauty and the Beast,
Kermit and Miss Piggy.

Remember,
Your son
Was born
The day
Mum died.
Her spirit
Within him,
He danced
Into life.

Remember,
Your friends
Love you more
Than you believe.

Remember,
Your man
Is devoted,
But you still
Doubt.

Remember,
Believe in your
Friends.
The best of the best.
The kindest,
Cleverest,
Most generous of spirits,
Noble friends and lovers all.

So when you are
Down and out,
Hopeless,
Hapless,
Shaking
With misery,
Read this,
From me.
Your alter-ego.

Your second stanza brought a smile, the third brought poigniacy and life goes on and your final stanza helps me give myself a good talking to, which I do need every now and again.

This hits something within me that I can't fully explain.
I know I have eternal doubts of the love others show me
and I feel comfort in the imagined presence of those now gone.
Does everyone?
Your alter-ego speaks such words of comfort, thank you
