"AFFLICTED"

Am I writing to hear myself scream
Are any of my words reaching you
Or are they falling on deafened ears
Am I writing just for a review

Am I writing to hide from myself
I don't know who I am anymore
At least in this world, I am someone
Not someone to be teased or ignored

Am I writing to make some new friends
Because all of mine have gone away
Why do I feel so unloved right now
Why do you want to hear what I say

Are my words worth anything at all
Am I really writing poetry
They're not good enough--neither am I
Or are you just being nice to me

Bad day, indeed. No, I see a writer with much to say. I've watched you grow and, someday, they will hear you, read you, and applaud you. Just keep writing and you will see.

Karla~

I don't know why you feel so badly of yourself. You are a wonderful person, and you are just going through some hard times now. It is natural to feel depressed and/or scared when things aren't going as well as we would want them to. But you ARE loved, and you DO have many friends! You also have a gift for writing, and when I review, I only review because I happen to like the story/poem/article; I am NOT doing it to get reviews myself! I happen to think you are one hell of a talented writer, and your words WILL be read! Don't ever give up hope, I believe in you, and so do many others; and most of all, God does too! He loves you too much to ever think of abandoning you. He hears and knows what's in your heart, and He WILL help you if you give him a chance. Now, it may not be when you would like, but he WILL take care of you! I KNOW that for a fact! Just as He is caring for me; He will do the same for you. "With God, ALL things are possible!" Please don't give up; I will never give up on you! I love you too much!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears <

You are in my prayers!

Heartfelt write that cries out for attention; very emotive poem that shows your inner self! Well done; brava! Keep on writing!! Don't ever stop; the world would be a much darker place without your brilliant mind!

Karla,

Remember what I've said to you: You're a star. Your work comes from the heart, and its warm honesty shines on us. No, I don't leave comments to make any one feel good. I comment when I really feel the work has merit. I second Robert's comments: Be nice to yourself, and keep writing. We'll keep reading, have no doubt. :-)

hugs,
Carmen :-)

You always have both our prayers, and our support, Karla. And you are truly the poetic Lady of the lights; and we read you because you pen some fabulous poems, and because you are a truly caring individual.

Hope things seem much brighter very soon, Poetess.

Karla, I can honestly say that since I have joined the Den, you have been one of the most inspirational Poets here, my friend! I have grown to admire you and your work! I have seen you go through a lot of highs and lows, yet you have always been a classy woman! Your poetry is second to none, and the way you reach out to help those whenever they are down, is a testament to your compassionate soul! By the way Poet, this is a GREAT composition, and it is always a pleasure reading your work! Thank you for sharing it. Take care and be well.

Good GRIEF! I have never written one review on AD that I didn't mean wholeheartedly. Sure, friends are great, but we are collegues here...fellow artists-fellow writers. I don't have to pay a membership fee on a writer's website to cultivate friends. When I tell you something is TERRIFIC, GREAT, touching, moving, uplifting, thought provoking etc. etc. etc. you can believe that I truly found it to be so. I'm not one to shower anyone with platitudes. You are a gifted, lovely spirited writer Karla. I value your work nearly as much as I value your friendship. Please believe that. Your notes of encouragement during our hurricanes were so beautiful and brought smiles to my face on days when we were faced with Mother Nature's unknown. You write from your heart. And from the bounty of that heart we are all blessed...Now consider yourself double hugged! Michelle

Karla, I for one enjoy your works. Still pretty new on the scene, so it will take me awhile to understand everything you've written. But your loneliness and depression are evident. Very emotionally written. Just recently, someone shared with me how our writing is both a blessing and a curse. At times, the curse can be overpowering, where we forget the joy of writing. Keep writing your answer will come!
