Yes indeed, Becca...words from others cut very deep and leave scars regardless of how long ago...also, a simple, well intentioned comment from a parent to a child can affect them for life and as you said so well, we can only try to gain wisdom and insight from our own past...but it still hurts!...Congrats on your win - Tim

You wrote about this theme very wisely. And some of what you are saying is what I would say as well. I hope Frank likes this one as much as I do!

I think we have all been there. Part of being human. Great job honestly and sensitively portrayed.

Great heartfelt poem, Becca. What works for me: 1. Forgive (inlcuding yourself), but never forget the lesson - (my philosophy) and 2. "What other people think of you, do not concern you." (Paulo Coelho).... :-) Thank you for the kind comment on my poem. Have a nice day. Love, Su

"Standing in defense of an unpopular notion" - It takes a huge amount of strength do this! What a wonderful write about overcoming the past to become a stronger person.

Yes yes. I'm pretty sure we can ALL relate to this. Well done expressing this issue plaguing us all at one time or another.
