Very sad.

D-

I know this comes from a very painful place. Well written, though I'm sorry you had to go through this to get this fine writing.

It reminds me of something I wrote called "Self-Help Book".

Thanks for sharing, and I hope the fallout of this time is long past,
Your mate, Moskowitz

Ouch! I feel the pain between the words. A place once visited, many moons ago I hope!

Well-written maso!

Doc,

Very sad

Yes, it is.

Buddah,

You're right, this came from a particularly painful place, somewhere very few of us actually enjoy being. I appreciate you feeling sorry for me but like all experiences, I gained something from them, creatively speaking. To me, this is the payoff.

I'm glad you like the poem, mate. Good to see you.

Serenity,

Good to see you too, Donna. Yes, it wasn't a nice place either. I'm glad you liked it too.

I'm on the other side of that poem... and now i think i know how he felt. thank you for this.

Ennarath,

i think i know how he felt

If by emotionally bludgeoned, then you're close. While I try to live my life without regrets, there are (very few) times I'd love to lose all memory of ever having happened.

thank you for this

You're welcome.

yes, i think we both came away emotionally bludgeoned. i did write a response to your response by the way. there are MANY surprises left in the end of WHITE LIFE

Life has a tendency to bludgeon those of us who choose to live guided by our emotions. It doesn't ever matter how hard we appear to be outside, we're all soft in the centre.
