I smile through my tears (I still do) and for years was overcome by strange and unimaginable fears. But I am a poet now I could pinch myself. I thank you for your poem everybody should be kind and never mean-spirited or cruel. I feel like I am waking up to more and more good days as I go through my life each day it's a new day just letting go of past shame hurt and lots of hardships to Sunshine.
