Hi Addison,
Ah thank you so much for your really kind comment on my poem. It means such a lot to me and it is so moving to hear that this poem has helped you and I'm so pleased it has. I hope it reminds you that you are absolutely not alone in your journey and there's lots of us out there who have either previously experienced battles like this or who are currently going through them and who are rooting for you in your journey! Wishing you all the best with everything.
When my husband was still a boy he was given this poem by his uncle and learnt it by heart. It is very much how he lived his life. The poem was read immaculately by his grandson at his memorial service.
I just want to say that this poems meant a lot to me. I have struggled with self harm for 8 years and this poem helped me see the light shining through the darkness. I know that this poem touched a lot of people and it really helped me see that I could end my self harm if I just tried. Thank you.
Joydip,
Those are beautiful and inspiring words.
Beautifully arranged and simply put.
I don't think it could be improved upon without coming back together as it is !

I'm so glad you promoted this poem of yours, as it made me look up the other poems you have with Family Friends. I found I agreed with so many of the sentiments you put across in your poetry. Very best wishes, Ann.
At first being 45 I didn't really think I was going to read a 7th graders work but to inspire you to not give up you said so I read. The first few sentences made me smile pure and relaxed thru until it was finished. It was a good wrote poem to be fair, thanks for that share!!
I wish my dad understood what he has put me through. He treats me like this every 3 month and in the 4th month he want to see me and make sure I am ok. But I'm not telling him how I'm really doing because he don't really care about me or anything that goes on in my life.
That's just like mine, but not only does mine treat me like that he also acts like I'm not here. I've learned to live with the fact that he wants nothing to do with me. My mom has played every single role that she could and tried to be there for me when my dad wasn't there for me. I refuse to let him in my life because of the way that he treated me.
I know what it's like to suffer from Anxiety Attacks and Depression I've been put on meds to help me with it, but they don't seem to be working. I still get anxiety attacks and Depressive Episodes so much I fear I'm going insane.
