Hello author, Good descriptive writing and a very personal look into the struggles of mental health illness. Your poem reads and flows well, and your message is clear.

Of special note:
Let joy replace the pain and create happy memories that last.

(The above is my prayer for your.)

Today you wrote something brave. Thank you for sharing this with your FS family. Keep the blue waters flowing.

Mental illness no longer has a stigma as most people suffer from sorrow at some stage in their life and know what grieving feels like, some suffer more often than others. Your poem tells of your depression and anxiety and I am glad to hear you fight it with all your might, love Dolly x

Oh man, you said it. If it were not for having to relive those sad, sad, moments of my past I would be a very happy go lucky kind of guy. But the past never seems to leave us, it is always there. If only......

Nicely said.

I found the author's words expressing feelings, sadness, and memories well. I found the poem thought provoking and creative. I pondered on the theme of this poem. Thank you for the author's notes - they compliment this poem. The artwork goes well with these words.

I enjoyed reading your poem and the graphic selected fits well. However, I wish you had layered more flesh on the bones of this poem by giving detailed examples of some of your hardships and struggles. You state pains of a trouble past but give no sensory details showing it. I feel more details would make this piece richer.

    Thanks it would have been a very long poem if I described all the details . I was just looking for the gest of sadness. Thanks so much.

    Nothing wrong with a long poem. The extra details may touch the soul of another and be exactly what they need to keep pushing forward. Thanks!

Hello!

I love this piece, though it is sadly relatable. You did a great job with your word choices. I would only suggest fixing your capitalization with your "i's." Thank you for sharing!

One Love
Haylee

I'm so sorry for the sadness that plagues you so often. I hope perhaps some days will become less of a struggle than others, as time goes on. I love that as well as sadness, this poem also talks about your love of life and people, and seeing the light during painful times. You might feel all the sadness, but I think that's a message of hope.
