Gosh, it is such a sad story... I feel really sorry for you. It must have been awfully painful to watch how your baby destroys herself. May God rest her soul.

I noticed now that it was not about your own daughter, but still... watching your kids die this way must be awful... I don't have children yet, but I cannot imagine losing my child like this.

Thank you for your commemt on my poem. I enjoyed reading some of your poems. This one I is real every day for parents all over the world. I hope this was not your daughter. If this was your daughter this should be healing for your soul to write it as it was.

Thank you for your beautiful comments. Yes, this mishap did not happen to me but it did happen to other people. Real people. I have shared their sorrows. Love Nedra.

Wow - what a tragic story - but an excellent write! Rajit, this one really tore at me! It is so terribly sad that too many young people are ending up just like the girl in this incredible piece. Pandita

Yes Pandita, it did happen to some people. We should make serous effort to make this world a better place for our children. Love.

nette,it is not fictional, it is real. But it did not happen to me but to other people. We must share their sorrows. They are our children after all. As parents or as elder brother or sister we must take their problems very seriously. I am sorry to say I find some sort of indifference is prevailing in our society. I am thankful you have shared my feelings. Love.
