We must let bygones be bygones and get on with living.
Forget the past only learn from this and live for now.
Memories hurt we toss them away and enjoy our life.
I really liked this read and was written very well.

Thanks Honeytree.
Comment from Resident_Truth
Much depth of soul in this piece. ..
Much introspection and contemplation on this stanza...
Once surfaced from hidden depths
I beheld the pain with newly opened eyes
Years ago the burial kept it down
A bitter stench reminded me it was dead
This is some deep writing

Hi VP,
Sometimes we have to face those terrible memories to be able to see them as dead. The art works very well with your poem and your thoughts have a clear meaning. Very well written and a pleasure to read. Thank you for sharing and God bless and best wishes!

Keeping pain locked away only leads to deeper pain. Releases what is kept deep frees you. Flowed and was well written. A very liberating poem. Thanks for sharing. Robbin

Comment from Adam Smith
Okay, at the risk of having you want to kill me... I think your author notes were more true than this poem.
That's not to be harsh, it's just to say that when something this "real" becomes the object of your writing, you have to put it out there plain and simple.
This poem is good. From a poetic standpoint. But you take away from it by adding your author notes.
The author notes are almost a poem in themselves, and more ture, and more real.
The poem is good, as I've said, and I would think so depite the author notes. But now I see that the poem is enigmatic and there's not enough clues for me to get the true meaning.
I might like or enjoy this poem without the author notes, but since they are there, I have to put this poem into some sort of context. I think that retricts me, as a reader.
Does this make any sense?
I've come to know you so much through your words, but I've never been "directed" to this degree before.
So, in short (too late), I dig the poem, but the author notes made me think something else. I felt robbed, a bit.
I'm sorry to be so frank, but consider the scenario in which this poem is "out there" without the benefit of your author notes. If it is not "saying" what you want, without your author notes, then it may need some more... "something."
I hope you dig, Jewell.
Respectfully, Adam

the point of the author's notes was to bring it all in to perspective. I don't think they take away from the poem but add to it. I guess that's your issue. glad the poem is good without them. I'll remove the notes ...it's tmi anyway.
Comment from angel of the quill
let me speak on the notes
i commend your strenght
my past holds me prisoner
i sometimes write about the slave i became
it is because unlike you i am still chained
to the pain i was in
and feel it was all my fault
(foster kid) great poem
strong powerful
well done

Comment from bard owl
So many of us deal with nightmares of the past. And your poem eloquently gives the longstanding solution - accept it for what it is and let it go. Your poem is a wonderful tribute to emotional freedom. Excellent, as always. Blessings, Linda
