Poetry

You guys are wonderful. Thank you so much. You have made me feel welcome and comfortable in pouring my heart out.

Laurie, thank you for clearing up social work vs. APS. I did not know the difference.

Lightseeker, thank you for the suggestion in making a "guilt list." This is a good idea, and I know will be quite the eye-opener for me.

Thank you all, for your encouragement, sharing, and prayers. I really appreciate that so many of you took the time to post. You and your loved ones will also be in my prayers.

I am considering an Al Anon meeting this Thursday. I'm nervous, but I really think I should go for my own well-being.

Take care all : )

Edit: I almost forgot. I was feeling really down last week, so I wrote a poem about my dad and how I felt. It's pretty cheesy since I wrote it in a short amount of time (10 minutes or so), but it was therapeutic for me. I thought I would share it with you guys. It's called "This is it".

This is it
This is the last time
I watch your tears
I hear your cries
This is it
This is the end
I cannot help you die
No, I'm sorry,
You're on your own today
This is it,
It's over
It has to be this way

For I am tired
I am weak
I have lost years of sleep
It's getting scary
It's looking bleak,
And I can barely lift my feet

This is it
This is the last time
My life stops for you
Let me go,
Let me go,
Let me see my own life through

Thanks again for allowing me to share.
((Hugs))
