Thinka, we can be exactly who we want to be -- as far as forever young, that is an altogether different challenge my dear friend -- my personal motto is, cheer up it will get worse -- that permits me to put everything in proper perspective -- I bid you love and peace my dear friend --- Jon Michael

A sad, introspective look at the broken heart of one who has loved and lost. Amazing details; one knows you have lived this and feels the sadness in your very being. I hope this hurt soon leaves you. Loved your poem... I am a new fan of your work.

Why can�t we be just who we want to be?
Wild and free
Just forever young
Why?

Questions many ask themselves, each and every day,
And I hope sadness is replaced with happiness soon.

Sadness is difficult to understand. Many who have not experienced it do not realize the pain it causes. You did an excellent job of describing depression.
GOD BLESS YOU

Oh Tinka! So sorry to catch you at such low ebb but certainly you express here the desperation felt by many who feel they inhabit somehow the "wrong life" and that they're not where or even who they should be. The intensity, longing and sincerity of heart are palpable and it's certainly true that pain makes the pen fly... Bless you, Darlin. Bristol seems so far away now, but I still cherish deeply its fond remembrance. Refind that beautiful smile! Love always, Kate xx
