Everyone has been so helpful and sweet since I became a member. I would like to mention something about my poetry. I have a lot of comments asking if the poems I am writing are from real life experience because they are so real and emotional. The only one that is from my life is the Secret Hell poem. That did happen to me. All the other ones are just poems that just come out of my mind. I just start putting down words and thats what happens. I do feel honored that my work is touching people that way. Have a nice weekend everyone. Take care Stay safe Hugs and love to everyone

When ever I wrote a poem and people ask to read it they would say that it was good but that I should write about happier things. Its not that I don't to, it's just that... it's just the only way these emotions can be expressed. If I'm happy, I don't express it in words, I express it through my actions and if I feel disturbed or unhappy I express them on paper believing that my sorrows wouldn't be a burden to others unless they read it themselves. I write about things like depression and what not just so that people would have option to read it or let it be. But the more its left alone then the smaller my voice becomes; the one that cries help.
