Pray for me--having problems with everything, it seems :(

why write
when my words don't touch you at all
i pour my words onto the page
they don't adhere off cliffs they fall
they lie in pieces disengaged
why write

why write
my words die a slow painful death
they are already forgotten
no one hears their last desperate breath
crying from the depths most rotten
why write

why write
when they or i do not matter
when we are just meaningless things
my heart my words gone scattered
dispersed by bitter raven's wings
why write

why write

                why write

                                why write

yeah, just as i thought
                                    no one cares

((((Karla)))) "Why write?" Because God has given you a Gift, and if you give up on your writing, you are giving up on yourself and in HIM, and that is the LAST thing you would want to do! This poem made me cry; I am so sorry you are having such a rough time now. I wish things would get better for you; if there is ANYONE who deserves to be loved or be happy, it's YOU!!! I will be praying for you, and as you can see, so will many more; we all love you (me, more than most, 'cause I am your TWIN SISTER!! That has advantages! LOL) here, and the Den would be a MUCH sadder and darker place without you here! Please don't give up; you are much better than that! I am not giving up, and you shouldn't either! Write just for the pure enjoyment and release of it; so what if it doesn't bring you fame or glory! I have faith in you, and you should have faith in YOURSELF!! Your day will come; I KNOW it is!!!! Just hang in there, and DON'T give up on yourself OR in your faith!! I love you too much!!!! ((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears <

I have felt like this Karla...really I have....none in my family are interested in my writing...my one sister was my biggest supporter and I lost her last summer...I have said these same words...but.....the writer in us just needs to put those words to paper.. You are surely appreciated by me and many others here at the Den...(((hugs))) floria

Why write? Philosophical indeed, Karla. Had you not written, I would not know you. I value you as a friend as do so many here at the Den and elsewhere I am sure. You have done much for me whether you know it or not. I send you love, peace and strength mon amie du Texas. Regis

We should write one together. I am sure there would be a mass suicide with our collective pep! I like this one. :0)




Reviewed by Anna Marie Fritz	3/26/2004

I have to agree with the others comments on you being loved and respected. I hope these comments of reassurance help you some, dear friend. Hugs




Reviewed by E T Waldron	3/26/2004

C'mon Karla, you write because you're a writer and you can't not write! Besides, you have grown into a true poet, and your artistic sensitivities are giving you doubts as they do all good writers. So you'll get through it and write even better;-) I love you, and your work! Blessings to you!

Gotta try to think positive. First of all, MANY people care--you ARE loved. Don't give up on yourself--you are a gifted writer. Think of the good things in your life, just think about it. I remember when I was homeless--not homeless anymore. I remember when I was so sick I couldn't hold ANY job--got a good job now. There's a lot that I don't have, but compared to the way I used to be, I'm now a rich person. We live in America--we've got our freedom. That's a big something to be thankful for. Count your blessings, think of your cup half-full instead of half-empty. Force yourself to smile even if you don't feel like it--never know when someone is going to see your smile and smile back atcha. Read Norman Vincent Peale's "The Power of Positive Thinking." This book changed my whole life. I'm prayin' for ya and I bet everyone else is too. Attitude, a positive one, is everything. Keep right on writing--right out those negative feelings, but try to replace them with positive ones. Write something humorous even if you don't feel like it--poke fun at yourself. Hang in there, girl. I know you can do it. Love, Susan

Why write? A very philosophical question, perhaps asked by thousands of the worlds serious writers, since the write began, especially those that write well and often, as you do dear lady...I send out to you my most sincere wishes for Peace, Ed & Rufuz

This is so...honest and more and I, well, all the above... ((((you)))) mi
