about a girl i taught whos tragic story continues in the next post
How sad you are, little girl Somewhere behind those eyes Lies the truth Can you just be well enough to Tell someone, anyone? Your mother left you, and your dad, Well, I don�t know about him You pay the price With tears, with angst, with craziness Anything to make the days go by Out of control, no longer with anyone An imagined mother, Takes the place of the one who left you A way to be nurtured You must do it yourself So very, very lost Little girl

How deeply you feel the loneliness. My step daughter lost her mom at fourteen...at that mommentI lay with a broken heart in a hospital waiting for a life-saving heart transplant. I am told she just crumbled in a corner of the the cold, empty housem, that once was her happy secure home. DESERTED, ALONE, BUT NOT HELPLESS.Today she is a talented model, mother of one, and a wife to a man that cares.

I wish I could hug that little girl in your poem..just say you are never alone and loved.

Good write. From your heart.

The human mind can take just so much and then it shuts down.

Reviewed by Richard Cederberg

Reviewed on August 18, 2007

It is always cathartic to open up and communicate with others about these kinds of things. Holding emotions in like this can result in alcoholism and drug addiction, sexual perversion, and a host of other conditions that make life a kind of living torture. I taught my children how to communicate - their generation does not do so willingly!
Blessings ...
