It is just this raw, hardcore emotion that made me rush to buy your book, Charity!

I could cut my soul on your words, but I see the strong woman driving you forward.

I encourage everyone to contact you, and order "Life in The Trenches" -
"Poetic voice of the streets --

I'll quote you, from your "About the Author" page in the book:

"No matter what you are going through, you are not alone!"

I'm so blessed to have an autographed copy!

We need your voice!

Love you!

Karenina

i think our past is our misery. what we have become in our past is what have been hidden. by becoming our hidden past is by becoming our hidden happiness. your poem was excellent in its creativity. thanks for the read.

Very deep is this poem. Well constructed and good rhyming. Whilst I am not really into poems encapsulating depression, its many forms and the sad effects it has upon those who suffer from it, I kept reading. In any event well done. Take care and have a wonderful day.

This reads like a confessional poem of a person who wants to change. Has tried to change a few times, but has failed. Just because of a few failures doesn't mean you will always fail. One just needs to keep trying. YOU are worth it.

Drank in my cup, not wanting to leave. (Drink???)

This is a sad post as it sounds like there is some regret in the past and how you have lived which has resulted in you being someone you do not recognise. We try and survive the trauma of life but it can change who we are, al poignant write Charity, love Dolly x

This poem is a weaver of emotions, that reflect the raw and unfiltered reality of the human psyche. I can see a vivid portrait of internal battles, capturing the turbulent storms within the soul. The verses resonate with authenticity, giving voice to the silent struggles that often go unnoticed. Well done and written. This speaks to some of my own past and present struggles. You will touch a lot of people with your words. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, this reads like a free-flowing stream of consciousness. If it came to you that way that would amazing. But even if you had to toil over each line the result is a soul-bearing, heart-wrenching, raw emotional ride. Exceptional writing. Terry.

The turmoil in your life resonates through this piece and many others you've shared here on FS.

It sounds like you've backtracked a bit, but that doesn't mean it's over. I know you're persistent, and that's always the key that starts the engine. You've just hit the brakes too many times, Charity!! Put your foot on the gas, girl, and go. Never stop or look back! There ain't nothing there! Best, JohnC

Charity your poem is so dark and real. You have to have been there to be able to write about it with such conviction. It's powerful and thought provoking. Well written Charity.
