*Dedicated to Lisa E. Hansen*

Help!

I'm trapped

And crying

The black hole

Is circling around me

My mind cries

Lonely

Hopeless tears

Why am I here?

Will anyone miss me

If I was gone

Suddenly

Typed words on a device

Break through

My wretched hell

"I am here

I am staying

You're not alone

Don't cry sweetheart"

Those words came

From a woman

I have yet to meet

In person

My froggy sister

Lisa

I needed help

Escaping my mind

That the illness

Had thrust into

Depression overdrive

In 2014

And you were there

You sent me funny pictures

About rewiring of brains

From Home Depot

Loving stickers

Anything to keep me

From losing all hope

You kept me alive

Until my mom got home

And took over

I was later reassessed

And received different meds

But you were the catalyst

Keeping me here and not

Attached to some ventilator

I can never repay you

All I can say is thank you

May G-d grant you

Recovery

Peace

And happiness eternal

As I asked Him

With the note placed

In the sacred

Western Wall in Jerusalem

Just for you

For He loves you

Just as I do

Thank you

Lisa

Forever and

For always
