It has been a long time since I have had the pleasure of seeing your new poems as you pour out your heart. I still enjoy a book you wrote several years ago. I hope soon to be once more writing myself. When I read your poems I feel as if I know the real you. The emotions are so raw some times, so heartbreaking other times, but always true to you. Mona

Hi Barb,
Sorry for the late review. Long hours at work have held me at bay from FS.
I can relate very well to what your saying. Sometimes it is so hard to write what we're feeling. No matter how badly You feel the need to write, it just doesn't happen.
I liked your description of your
"electronic friend
that holds all my secrects"
Good job expressing yourself and thank you sweet lady for sharing. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Becky

Hiya,
I found this to be a very moving poem, your thoughts are wonderfully expressed here in a mix of bitterness and acceptance.
My electronic friend
That holds all my secrets
I think we can all identify with that, an electronic journal is the ultimate non-judgemental friend.

Dear Barbara,
what a painfully poignant piece
I think I probably took from this way more than you might've even originally intended. As someone who suffers from fibromyalgia, and sometimes feels as if my life is not my own, I could relate to your poem.
Thank you for posting this, it was nice to read you again.

Bec. I'm sure all you took was there dear friend. Blessings to you. I have that also. I'm thinking maybe it is connected with the soft bones thingy I have. When I take the calcium and vit. D 3 I'm supposed to I don't ache as badly. Really been down with it and allergies of late. Prayers Bec for your health. Barbara

I don't mention this much, but it sucks when you're only 31 and I feel as if I'm 90 some days. Arthritis doctor says it's likely that it'll just get worse. Oh great, I can barely type as it is, and it hurts to do much of anything, but I force myself. I can't NOT do the household chores and take care of my kid. I take a huge dose of vit d a day too. Was on that pill for fibro for 3 months, but it made me gain 40 lbs. It was hell loosing it again, for 'normal people' exercises are too dang painful. Anyway, enough rambling! Hugs,
Bec

Great to know you are starting to write again. The fear, any fear is paralyzing. Specially when we have the courage to bare our hearts, how you do in here. My best to you!

This poem is touching. The reader feels your pain. Your writing is clear and the words have a smooth flow. You did a great job with this.

Comment from Dawn of Tomorrow
Oh I like this, Barb. I understand having no words come. Seems odd to me. I've had such a rough year, I've lost 3 friends and my ex father in law passed just 10 days ago, my father is battling cancer and still I have no words. Have to wonder about this mind of mine. Hope you are doing well, friend. Hugs and much love, JL

How frustrated you must be! When things are spinning round your mind, and you can't organize them enough to write a sentence, just put down a few words, keep your pen or your computer ready and go back to it. Maybe, once the words are on the paper or screen in enough different arrangements, you will wrap your thought (that's been in your head all the time)around the words and move them around to say what you feel. Frustrated and tense as you must be, you have written your poem very well and you have shown courage in doing it.

Thank you Marcella. Maybe it will jump start me LOL> Blessings dear lady. I hope your tests came out well that you had in NY. Barbara

Thanks for your reply and your interest. I had an endoscopy, where they put a probe down your throat and look around. They found some cysts (benign)on my pancreas and removed them. So, as far as that goes, all is well. I am still waiting for results of some others. Meanwhile, good luck in your getting over this present stumbling block. Marcella

well keep writting everything we write cant be a gem. I wrote something a week ago and I went back to it fixed it up and it's pretty good. My point is we can find sucess in our failures. Thanks for the poem.

Thank you keimosobie. I don't think in terms of success or failure when I write at all. I just write. It sadens me when I can't make myself write down what I'm feeling is all. Blessings. Barbara
Comment from cbezan58
very good. I think we all feel that way sometimes. Sometimes just writing a little something like you just did, gets your mind going. The poem explains how alive a writer feels when writing and how lost they feel when they can't think of anything to write.
