Exceptional Free Verse 2024 Gypsy's Free Verse : The Ways I Love You by Gypsy Blue Rose

I love You, and I hope You know how much  You have changed my life just by being You.   I love You, as the streams full of stars flow alone at night amidst smooth rocks where translucent fish fly between surface and sky.   I love You, as You travel through timeless dawns that glide across the ages to touch my life.   I love You You rescued me from the darkest night where I struggled with lies and the eternal  suffering of being.   I love You, because You are the only one in my corner when I fight with my life’s ghosts and struggle to take a breath You calmed my fears.     I love You, where birds carry my spirit high and southern winds carry me away above oceans and lands   I love You   Recognized Author Notes Inspired by the New Testament Inspired by "The Book of Longings" - author Sue Monk Kidd Inspired by, "Te Amo" - poet Julia de Burgos I have been sharing very personal history, sometimes I need to purge my soul. This poem came to mind while thinking about a few times I thought about killing myself. I didn't have friends and my children are my only family close to me, but I couldn't talk to them about it. God was the only one on my side, but He was all I needed. I have horrible panic attacks that make me feel like I can't breathe, it's an awful feeling. Some of my depression episodes have been so bad that I thought about killing myself. I didn't want to die, it was just too hard to live. I still feel bad about myself but I'm working on it. Fortunately, I do feel better. I have a good doctor and found the right medication. I live with my daughter and grandson. He is a precious little boy, I take care of him. It's hard to be sad around him. ( lifeline for suicide prevention is 988) I hope sharing my personal experiences will help somebody. Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem, Gypsy
