Erica, so much here, heartbreaking, and yes, I also think many of us can see ourselves in this amazing piece, hard, very hard not to be affected by that "dirt of the soul", still...as with your gifts as a Poet, you hold up a mirror to what we may be and it makes one want to scream, no, it has to change, has to get better... as i HOPE it will for any who feel as this, this is so damned powerful, hurts...
what a piece

"Dirt of the Soul".... wonderful, Erica. You write with expression of a TRUE artist. I cannot ency somebody as brilliant as you because one is merely blessed with it without being asked for it... they are just given this gift like you have.

Warm Love,

Erica is a remarkable poet. Many of these poems are from the gut and the heart. She feels , she writes it and she sends it. No grammar check or spell check, just the way it comes out. She has the talent to be great. Understand she writes as she thinks and feels, not what is necessarily proper. If I could just get her to iron shirts...

Great poem Erica.

Overcoming the odds to be more than what we are. That is pretty damn good.

"She had to prove
she could do it all.. "

??? Maybe she only needs to do some of it and not all ??? Doing it all, scary stuff.
