Wow this is so moving and so emotionally done, i had to reread it again to get the full effect. You hold us with the start all the way through and with all you have been through, you put the feelings into this

    Stand out here in the cold cold world?
    Or start cutting your lowered leg areas?
    she's now course a grown woman she just started working there about maybe six weeks ago I talked to her a little bit at night and we started just getting into a serious conversation when I talked about my dead son and wife and my depression and she started to share.
    Thanks,
    Ricky

Not sure who this person is you describe here Ricky, but I am sorry for your loss. If we are not treated with respect by others then we may have to ask ourselves how we treat people in general, this sounds like a very sad situation here, a melancholy write, love Dolly x

    Or she had that tattoo and words on her arm.
    I usually hang out down the street at the local 7-Eleven get coffee around 1 in the morning.
    I talked to three different people one young man about 19 and one older woman and then this woman I shall call her Amanda.
    Amanda's a young woman about 26.
    And, sometimes I'll stay till 5 and talk to that cashier.
    And, this one is the one who showed that to me.
    as I shared about my dead son and my wife sheet started to share also about her depression issues.
    And, she's the one that was a cutter.
    Thanks,
    Ricky

i liked it - yes, i know that many teens cut or hurt themselves when they are in stress. i was able to imagine this child and feel empathy for her/
good job

    And the actual idea came last night talking to a cashier.
    (Grown woman)
    She manages three 7-Elevens.
    And, she had the tattoo on her, so I asked what it was about?
    So I got permission to take the picture from her arm
    But I couldn't post it.
    (It wouldn't take here on fanstory)
    So, Saturday she'll be in.
    I'm going to show her the poem and story on my phone.
    some of the details are fictional but they are based on fact that she was abused and was also a cutter.
    Thanks,
