To Whom It May Concern

No one will ever know, how I truly feel,all my thoughts and feelings, are very,very real. You can't stop someone from doing what they feel they must do,for it's up to them and GOD if they make it through. I met alot of friends on a website Poetry Soup,so many of them are so kind, but this is something I had to do. The hill that I have been watching, is very,very steep,I feel the time is soon,I am going to take the leap. I finally got one dream to get a poem in a book, the book is titled "Whispers" I hope you take a look. MY HOPES AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU THROUGH THIS TRAGIC ACCIDENT!! Colleen Marie Bono

To Whom It May Concern, From Colleen's poetry so much I have learned. One day she'll find a way to deal with her depression. She must stick around. She's the source of much of my inspiration. Best Wishes Always, Bill

Colleen u and I have been through this subject many times.. why u feel your life is not worth living no one knows but u.. with a family to care for .. strength will come from God if u reach out to HIM and ask for help to stop thinking of suicidal thoughts.. take HG's challenge and write a love poem about your family and see if that makes a difference in the way u feel about leaving us when u are so needed to inspire on the Soup.. we need all the good poetry we can red here and yours is one ...

Colleen...you are more than this. You are not your thoughts, although it feels very, very real. But Dear One, you are so much more than the thoughts and feelings that burden you. I want you to visit this website, turn up the speakers, and receive a glimpse of the magnificence of you: http://www.theishayatradition.org/radio/praise-video.html

Why Would You? Why would you leave Your children to fend ? Why would you leave Their babies and friends? Why would you leave From Light and Love? Why would you leave God up above? Why would you leave The gifts of this earth? Why would you leave Your heart is of worth! Why would you leave Friends everywhere? Why would you leave When I really care? Jeralynn Clark

I have to agree with Robert as well Colleen...What you are speaking of doing is a long term solution to a short term problem...And with help, the proper help....Trust me it is short term....I have lost my whole family except my children and a sister, yet I am still going strong..The easy way out is not the only way out....Taz

(continued) or we would not continue to share our intimate details with you. We would not open our arms and send our prayers to you. Jesus would not have opened His arms so long ago. Life is just to precious and you are worth way too much to just give up. You are not a quitter. You have made it this far, please find Hope, please find Faith, please find time to talk to someone. Praying for you and lighting another candle... PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP, NOT YET! Hugs from Lolita

(continued) See, I know that if you leave this world that way there is no forgiveness from Him for taking away the most precious gift He has given this world... Your Life! He has a purpose for you. Maybe that purpose was putting you here to save another with your beautiful words but if you are not here to save them then they can not serve their purpose here. You just never know. I do hope that you will get this and open up to me or another. Share with a Dr. or just call a hotline. We all care...

(continued) I know myself that I am not strong enough to lose another friend right now, especially during the holiday season. I fight depression everyday with faith I manage to hang on. Sometimes it seems that life is working against me and that God has completely abandoned me only to find that somewhere along the way He makes it known that He remains. I can't always see it right away but He is there and offers so much peace and beauty in that faith. Suicide is not a part of the deal though

This poem saddens me greatly. I am in agreement with Robert on this one. None of us here want to suffer the loss of another person in our lives that is important to us. There are so many people here at the Soup that have come to know you and count you as a special part of this family. We all have something in our lives that has causd us to feel just this way at one time or another and if we haven't in the past it will be in the future. God can and will hear us if we call out to Him. Call on Him!
