Interconnect.

Ice dystopia
Next in line for leaving home
Thawed heart if you speak.
                           ---
Exhale winter through
Raindrop drumming on your mind
Carry on, dig deep.
                           ---
One life left to leave
No one misses seeds you sow
Never for nothing.
                           ---
Estimate your worth
Chasms cannot close themselves
Take your time my friend.

      Thanks for visiting Joanne. This poem partly came out of hearing about someone who had taken their own life. I wanted to highlight everyone's need of support and that you should seek support if you need it...

    Sad words, yet it is about making that important connection, just in time.

    Ah, estimating one's worth! Hard to do, undoubtedly. Probably depends on how a person feels about himself/herself on any given day!

      I agree Mary, but it's worth remembering how important you are to those you around you even when you don't feel important!

    Self worth is more important than one's considered value to others...that is just a bonus.If one is judged on the assessment of others, then a lot of us would be worth nothing.
