When someone is told all their life That they are never good enough Or there is always something wrong With everything they attempt to do It is really hard for that person To even want to continue trying Even after he/she is all grown Living out on his/her own, alone All those words echoing everyday He/she may live his/her life with Feeling like it is useless to even try Living with feelings of worthlessness Somewhere along the way, he/she Feels as if there's a reason to try Otherwise he/she feel hopeless Remembering all the things said When she tried to succeed before In accomplishing just one thing © By Sue 1-13-02 |

Understand this completely. Very forthright and powerful. The power of words ... positive or negative .... is amazng. If this voice is your own or close to it, let me just tell you that things can change. It's slow and painful at times, but they can change. You can find those voices arround you and you can train that voice that you carry around inside you to begin to echo the positive even if the negative has been overwhelming in the past. Hang in there and keep writing. The writing is cathartic and healing. |

 (smiles) Soooooooo sad but well-said, sweet friend, my words echo Canuckster's; look deep down into your past and at first learn from your sorrows and tears, then become thankful and blessed by the new strength and love you have gained from it all and use these voices as a weapon...love...to fill your days with sunshine and hope as you take that next bold step! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Oh my gosh do I ever know this feeling...up until about 3 years ago I lived with it every day of my life. Since I started writing I have begun little by little to look at myself through my own eyes and not someone elses. Keep writing, dear one. Your words show the incredible worth that you are...**big big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
