No matter what we feel, we are never alone in our suffering...I know many suffer in silence & it can kill, it's nothing but painful to face it on your own. "Whatever will be, will be" that's how I viewed this poem...so much truth spilled in this one and it breaks my heart...please know that you have an entire community here & many more who love you.

I do so greatly appreciate you, dear one... and this writing community too.
This is beautiful and full of both pain and hope. Your struggles, the path for that small boy, the innocence lost, created an even greater man filled with love and forgiveness. He will be well. Always.

That should scare the bejeezus out of him.
Tragically powerful and honest words from you my friend.
