So true. An excellent comparison. I always love spending time by water, whether it's the sea, a lake, pond, river or stream.

I find your poems very moving, especially this one. I'm glad that, like me, you find writing poetry helps you through some difficult times. Best wishes, Ann.
I feel the exact same way, but I have been able to fight the urge to do it but not many people even know about it. The first person I told about it was one of my closest friends and they sent me to therapy.
I've been going thru exactly what you've described for the past 4 yrs. We've been together for 17 years. I can't it anymore. I hope you found your way out with your children. I'm trying to find my way out currently. I've began losing who I am. They say your partner is a reflection of yourself but, he is not a reflection of me.
You've described my love for him thank you.
My love for him is like a curse. The last 5 yrs watching him be a fentanyl addict has destroyed everything.

I have bad Anxiety (Medically diagnosed, don't say it isn't real) And I feel this, the constant pressure of living up to what you're "Supposed to be"
I can feel your pain and I can relate. If you are like me, you wonder where you went wrong raising your daughters. I never or I hope I never made my mom feel the way I'm feeling now. It hurts to even remember my girls growing up. I'm not a part of their lives now and I miss them so much. I don't want to look back and remember them as children either because the pain is too great!
They don't come visit. The only way I see them is if I go there.
So you are not alone my friend. There are more of us out there who are lonely like you.
It was the same way with my mom but my dad took me out of the situation which I'm thankful for. I was on the verge of taking my life but when my dad got me he stopped me. I love being alone because that means no one will hurt me.
I'm so sorry for your loss! My dad died also through the hands of neglect and just plain ignoring my dad. He went into the hospital for an urinary track infection , he could walk, talk and eat without any assistance, 1 week later his legs were contracted to his chest, he couldn't talk he was in a comatose state. I demanded answers what happened to my dad I got nothing. He died 2 days after coming home. They said cause of death was Sinality! My dad was not senile.
Oh my goodness, Patricia, you have been busy commenting on my poems lately. So kind and thoughtful - much appreciated. Your good friend, Ann.
