i...i never knew you did.....Yoni, this...this hits me hard, and brings the sting of tears to my eyes, from me to you, with this distance apart, i kiss your scars, like i wish, someone had done for me....ill pray to my goddess with your name on my lips....to bring you....the missing pieces that you need.forever a bleeding sister, xo Raiin

So many interpretations can be made on this provocative poem, Yoni. For me, I see someone who finds it painful to initiate physical contact with another, but once they do, the fear and pain are gone and they are rewarded by joy. Very compelling write! I'm still in Jersey, but had to stop by and check out your write. Love you! Carolyn

So sad. As a nurse I've worked with people have to find pain in order to find relief of a deeper pain. Such a tragic life. Karen

Yes...this is a sad way many young people deal with pain...I hope it is something you can overcome if this is about yourself. Best wishes...

Sad but true. It would be hard to live with that much anxiety plaguing one eveyday. Keep writing. Sara
