Despite all of the available outside help that there is, Connor, my belief is that this ongoing problem of yours, can only, be solved by yourself
the reason for my belief is that no one knows you as much as you know yourself, and that knowing of yourself, is too deep for any stranger to get to the bottom of it.
Good luck with your future, and future relationships.

Evan,
I am sure that this poem lies in the heart of many. A famous man once said that, 'we are in this world, but not of it'. I think these words are very appropriate for your excellent poem.
Thank you,
Keith

Life is a journey that's what they say
Enjoy the ride for it will be over one fine day
Your destiny is in your capable hands
Carpe Diem - Take a chance on life's shifting sands
Embrace the beautifil gift of today
It is worth the gamble come what may
The time will come in the blink of an eye
When the whole of your life will flash by
At deaths door you will make your peace
It will be a beautiful moment of release
You will reflect and may have some regret
Dont give up the fight its not over yet.
Enjoyed reading these lines, Tom. I like the poem. Thanks for sharing. Regards, Larisa

This poem has some serious and deep lines to ponder upon. Meaningful and moving. Made me read twice. Superb my friend!
I loved the ending lines very much,
"I fought the fog that tried to settle upon my brain
And with one small spark of hope I searched for you
The thought of your bucket of hope kept me sane
Because just one sparkling dipper and I can start anew."

Beautiful poem, Hélène. Through your profile picture, I know how you love to grow plants and I love how you've added that here in this poem as your need and want, "I need a bit of rain
to grow the plants."
Thank you.

Hey David,
That’s it...
The day does come. Without fail. For millenia upon millenia. The day cares not for past or future. It simply is…
That might sound like existentialism. But, I don’t think I’m an existentialist at all.
The light necessarily contrasts with the void. So, we must all—every one of us—be part of the light. Else, we would be void and the void is nonexistence.
We—all of us, all things—are the day. We exist within the day and are of the day.
How can we argue? How can we rush the day? How can we forestall it?
Thank you kindly, David, for the comment—I slightly wish to go on, but in my state of mind, I suspect I will only lose the thread )

Hello, Graham,
Please don’t get me wrong—where my writing has anything at all to do with work, I’ve learned enough to know better than to leave the vitals open to interpretation.
I’m half-joking—you’re not commenting on how I feel about work, I know, but it’s been a long day )
I understand what you’re saying, though. I wouldn’t bother trying to decipher if I were you. Writing, for me, is just a way of processing ideas about which I don’t have the luxury of expounding at length enough to make much literal sense, anyway. In other words, if it’s not clear to you as a reader, it’s probably not straightforward for me either.
Thanks for the comment and the compliment. Really, I feel fortunate when I can come through with enough clarity to reach those who read my writing; and so, your comment is encouraging.

For those of you who enjoy local poetry for a good cause have a Listen to my chat with the super sports writer turned comedy performance poet Steve Mingle who has just released his debut poetry collection which is hilarious. He is donating proceeds to this book to a homeless project in Ashton. For a discount contact him on his Instagram vlad.the.inhaler57 and mention that you have listened to his interview on AllFm

John,
Thank you for this profile which I am so able to relate to. I had three jobs to earn extra cash. A milk round, an evening paper round and shelf stacking in one of the new supermarkets on Saturdays. I went to a Secondary Modern School, passed with two O levels. A failure but at the age of 39 years I arrived in Oxford and proved to the bastards that I did have a brain and dignity.
Great poem and thank you for it,
Keith
