Reviewed on October 11, 2007

The inner spirit can never be dimmed by a mind lost in a quagmire of thoughts that seem insane but are conquered by a will to not let it be so.

This poem and pic is powerful enough to make me cringe, remembering the times I've been there and back. Too many to relate. When we stand alone it is either because we have to, for a time, or we choose to. I hope you are not doing so now, and my prayers are with you to find the solution , best suited to you. We are more powerful than we know, and our inner spirit is to overcome if we let it.

Love,
Eileen

Raelynn we all have been to hell and back again though our actions sometime through life, it's ok for we do fine our way and a lot of times through the help of a friend or the helping hands of many. I believe thats what friends are their for. They are the Angels there to help us back to love and life. A wonderful write, thank you for sharing.
Newfie Hugs coming your way, Rose

You emerge purged, but scarred. Powerful!
You have a big heart - not wanting to take anyone down into your "hell," but as your friend I'd take your place [if I could] just so you wouldn't have to go through hell. You know me, I'll give you space and time, but then I have to make sure that you're ok - cause I love you. You aren't ever alone anyway - you always have God.
I hope this poem took away some hell, and is bringing you baaack.
I love you,
Kathy

There are times we all must walk alone, stand alone and yes face the fires of hell alone but...there are times as well when a hand reached out by one or by many should be accepted as the hands of friendship. When we go through life we collect our scars, some physical and yes some emotional but without those scarrs just like without love...if we didn't have them we never truly lived, only existed. This is one "hellofa" write Rae if you'll excuse that last pun.

Wow, RaeLynn,

For having descended into the pits of Hell, you've emerged, stronger, better than before (albeit scarred). Who cares? The fact that you've survived life is a feat in itself! I saw great empowerment and courage in your painful words. Believe in you: I do. :) Well done.

((((HUGS)))) and love, Karla.
