A heartbreaking read with a defiant and almost uplifting ending. In the sense that they can hurt you but they can't ruin your spirit and despite all the hurt you still love them and life. That's a powerful and thought provoking ending. This piece is very good however I'd try working on opening your poems with more intriguing and unusual opening lines. Rather than saying in the opening line 'Tears fall or I am grieving or weeping. Let the rest of the poem say that in the emotions you express later in the poem. You need a less obvious opening. That said you write well.
this is a lovely plee for hope, a last statment before the slip into depression. i really loved the flow of this poem and personally think you;ve done a great job here. All of your phraseing is very orginal, and your word choice excells from what iv seen in the past. this is truely a gem, you really capture the emotion and moment quite well. haveing suffered from depression and suicide this poem means a little more then you can imagine its something that sticks with you.
I TOTALLY agree with David! 100%! The one's that love us the most, always seem to be those that hurt us the most. Same with those that WE love!
Very emotional and sad. Good job!
The people we love have the greatest ability to hurt us and the greatest ability to uplift. Never quit striving until you find the one that does the latter for they will more than compensate for the former. you did a great job of distilling those feelings onto paper.
Yes, this is very true. People can stil somehow love even through all the hurting around them...even if they are the ones hurting the people around them, they can still love. I really like this, and I feel abandoned and neglected by my mother...I don't like her very much, but i don't have the best bond with her, but I am working on it and can't seem to because of something that is always new to take her away from me. I wish to be closer to her, but everything around me is pulling her away from me...and I never knew my real paretns (i was adopted when I was 2) and I always wonder why they never properly took care of me in the fact that i had to be taken out of my home and put into an orphanage....i always wonder if my paretns ever loved me or even wanted me...so i was an orphan when i was young and i always feel as if i'll be one...always an orphan, that's me.
