I think it is philosophical. This piece portrays a lonely, lost soul trying to find her place. We all need to take time to spend with friends and loved ones. I, for one, will miss you while you're away, and I hope it's not for long, my friend. Honestly, I feel unworthy of many things, but the friends I've met here have changed this for me. I never thought I was good enough. But I am, and so are you, my friend. Please don't ever forget that.
God bless,
Steve

hi Steve. I love this review. It shows a lot of love for me and I love you too. I do not feel like that anymore ever these days. I have found God and I know my place in this earthly existence. Thank you for saying you'll miss me. I'll miss everyone on this site. But I may start reviewing before I write anything here. I just need a break because I don't have much left to post. I'm writing new stuff now so that when I come back, I will have things to post. Thank you also for the great review and for all of your encouragement in the past.
Thank you especially for the six star rating. It means a lot to me.

I think we all get that sense when we reach a high place what it would be like jump, I think that's our primal instinct when we used to be apes living in the trees kicking in. A well written piece, Pam, I thought you described the scene really well. I enjoyed reading it.

The author's words are detailed, clear and are creative. I found the
author was able to express emotions and feelings well. The poem flows
and connects well. The artwork is awesome and compliments both the
theme and words of this poem

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I think your words reflect many minds on here and everywhere else. Especially in todays world. There doesn't seem to be time anymore for a family life anymore. I'm sorry your mother was abusive, that is so sad. I'm glad you never did jump. Everyone would have missed out on a lot just by you not being here anymore. And, think of what you would have missed. It's a sad world we live in, and not everyone has the strength to go on. Don't stay away too long, Pam. You will be missed. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

Comment from giraffmang
Hi there,
there is definitely a philosophical bent to this piece and I think it is something that a lot of folk ponder at times.
We all were certain faces or masks depending on who we are with at certain times or at certain times of our lives and the difficulty comes when we have to reconcile that within ourselves as no one can do it for use.
Self-worth is never found in the eyes of others...
A good, thoughtful piece
All the best

Thank you GMG for a thoughtful and thorough review. It is interesting that you talk about wearing masks because I have written many poems on that theme and I feel like I have to do that. I had one mask when I worked and another when I felt good and still another or more than one another when I was with friends.

I sure hope you don't stop posting. May take break but come back. The site needs your voice. I could imagine you walking along or hiking the canyon ridges, since I finally took my first trip to Grand Canyon. Based on strong this for when you were at that age, I think deserves the best rating. It is fierce, and reading lights the fuse of emotion. Well done.

Wow. Thank you so much forestport for the shiny stars and for your wonderful and encouraging review. I think I will only be gone a couple of months.
Comment from Shanbreen
Pam, I ma so glad you didn't commit suicide. We would have missed your poems.=)
Seriously, what you went through with your mother is hard for me to comprehend because I have never had that problem. But as a young person who had an abusive mother, I can see it happening. You, it seems to me, are a very sensitive person, and, in my opinion, sensitive people often are prone to take extreme actions or let it fester in their heart, becoming a barrier to their positiveness.
I am glad you broke through the barrier. Pam, you turned out to be a fascinating person and I am so happy to have you as my friend.
The poem, as most of your poems are very well written. I am going to miss having you around (hopefully for a short time) discussing your well thought out poems.

Thank you so much for your honest and positive feedback, my friend. I think it will only be a matter of months that I will be gone. I have to write more poems or it's not gonna be worth me paying the new membership fee.
Take care
Comment from Cindy Decker 3
Pam,
Your poem is a kind of cry out for help (back then), I've been down this road before, but God always rescues me in time through others or just me.
I confess every once in awhile, suicide sometimes creeps into my mind, but I was saved once from a jump (broken back), and I don't want to insult God with another try. I keep thinking he saved my life for a purpose and hope I know what it is some day.
Exceptional therapy poem, Pam.
Hugs,
Blessings,
Cindy

I'm glad you survived Cindy. I've had a lot of miraculous saves in my life. Some of them were from suicide.
I have found God, though it's late in life. I survived something called cardiogenic shock and my heart stopped seven times and I stopped breathing.
I should've died. Only one in 10 people with that condition are alive one year later and I have beaten those odds.
I do know what my purpose is here. it is to listen to and help others I've already saved at least two people from suicide
Now that I know what my purpose is, I'm a lot happier in life
Thank you so much for this heartfelt and thoughtful review
Comment from estory
This poem makes you consider what emotions must go through your head as you contemplate that final step over the side. I never contemplated suicide, though one of my cousins battled this through his life. I think the canyon and its depths is a symbol of that moment. It really is a poem of standing on the edge between life and death, and having to choose between. In many ways it reads like talking to yourself and that makes it something we can relate to. estory
