Poem Artwork

If I were a doctor
I would write my own prescriptions
But I'm not
So I confront pain with my inscriptions

If I were a cutter
I would bleed the pain out of me
But I'm not
I've learned to make friends with the enemy

If I were a healer
I would already be totally healed
But I'm not
There must be a lesson through this ordeal

If I were a quitter
I would have ended it long ago
But I'm not
I continue to live, therefore, I grow

(C) Copy written, July 18, 2004, by Karla Dorman.

Easier to quit but being a fighter is harder but well worth the gain at the end of the fight, stay the course there.

Karla, (HUGS),
This poem reminds me of one I wrote today. It is
called "Stepping Stool". It leads to the readers imagination of what to wonder would happen between Christ and the symbol of the stepping stool, but I thought it turned out pretty neat myself! It reminds me of your fierce spirit to survive like mine! Take care, good buddy!
Love,
Becca

A doctor writing their own scripts is almost as bad as lawyers representing themselves. I’m glad you’re not a quitter. I’m always inspired by your work Enjoyed.

I love the lessons in courage and perserverance in this poem; even though you may hurt, you refuse to give in to your pain, and you go on to the best of your ability! Your courage is nothing short of inspiring! Keep on hoping and dreaming, and know that one day you WILL be without pain, without fear, without doubt, and without worry!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

With each poem, you do grow,
yes indeed, I have seen this, that is how I know,
your pain is non existent,
if you are to scream and shout,
exit it does by the vent,
or not or just about...

Peace dear friend Karla, Ed & Rufuz
