This poem really hits home right now. My husband's ex caused him so much damage emotionally that he's afraid of being hurt again, so he does the hurting before anything even happens. After 14 years of marriage, he came home last Saturday and said, "I don't know if I love you anymore." I am crushed, devastated, and I feel lost. Even though we are having problems, he would rather hurt me before I hurt him. Which I had no intention of doing, but he just assumes because of our problems I will just leaveH he is wrong, and I wish he could see that.

I feel like it's a beautiful morning. It began with a lot of positive energy and happy feelings.This poem makes me feel fresh, even if I read it in between a lot of stress. I feel like it is going to start a good day ahead. Its calmness has the power to bring a smile to my face anytime.
I lost my dad just last month. He was in a coma. It hurts. I have so many unfinished conversation with him. It hurts so much I don't think it'll ever stop.... why is this world so cruel? Why were we born in the first place if we have to go? This is so not fair. I miss you so much, dad...I miss you. I really miss you. I only have memories. Not fair! Not fair! My heart aches....
Marie, I myself am going through a lot and at the same time trying to help others with their problems when I should be focusing on me. Thank you for reminding me that I am not alone and will never be, just so long as I focus on me.
I lost my brother two years ago on February 13, 2017. He had passed away due to suicide, and it still haunts me to this day. I can relate to a lot of people who have lost a brother and I understand. My brother was a musician and I never took an interest into it till after he passed. Now I write to get my feelings out to help with my depression from it, and it's a great way to release feelings.

I love this poem...I'm currently in 5th grade and working on a poetry book! This has helped me a lot! When I got to the "abc" poem, I was lost. Then I found this website. It's an awesome place, and it's very, very safe. I hope more people can appreciate this website. In 1900 there wouldn't have been this website. I'm very grateful that you made this poem and site.
I'm so heartbroken. I lost the one I loved deeply. He moved out while I was at work. No goodbye. No explanation. We text for about a month. Last time was in March. Now he won't speak or text. I don't know what to do. I can't let go.
Mary Ann, I am so very sorry for your loss of your precious little Jordan, and you are right, there are many of us feeling the deep sorrow of losing our child. I guess we all should be praying for one another for God to help each of us find peace and the faith to know without doubt we will be with our precious child again in Heaven. I will keep you in prayers. Surely your precious baby Jordan is safe in the hands of God and the Holy Angels. God bless you.
My uncle died 2 days ago. He was my last uncle. He was so full of life. He would always laugh, dance, and take care of his family. He never complained or ever said no to anyone. I cannot pick up the phone and hear his voice and hear that laugh ever again or his words. When we hung up, he would say, "Okay, Niece, love you too"! He was 92 years old. You would never know it by the way he would get around. He slowed down after a stroke about 5 years ago. But before then, he was still driving to South Carolina with only one stop. He had his tapes and peppermints! I didn't believe it until I took a trip with him to S.C.
Dear IIona M. Blake:
