Hey everyone im back!!! I really had a million and one things going on w/me for what seems like forever so i took a break from here but now im back for hopefully good.  Heres the first poem i wrote in a long time that described how great i feel to feel better. If you remember my poems a lot of the time i was often depressed and sad..everythings so much better since then.Love, Michele So im standing on my own two feet, Stumbling every now and then..yet stable. Wondering how i could have missed out on all of this glory for so long, Trapped and being deemed depressed and other such labels. I stretch and feel free at last, No longer caged by my own mind and soul. I think im finally at peace with myself, All of the guidance and love took its toll. Its a whole new world!!! Oh..cant i go back and experience the last 3 again? I would do it so much differently if i could, I would embrace life as much as i possibly can. So what if i wished death upon my fate, Now i challenge it with a smirk and my tiny fists. I'd take it down with a one-two-three, You should know better than to mess with this little miss!!! My lips are flourished with their natural pink happiness, I missed it so much i could cry. My cheeks and skin have finally awoken from their sleep of endless years, I finally see that long awaited sparkle in my eye. Welcome back lively hood, Nice to see you again zest! It's been too long excitement... Theres so much to greet i cant even take a rest!! I'm standing on my own two feet now, A little shaky still...but stable. All that really matters to me i guess... Is that now, i'm able Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out I laugh myself to sleep It's my lullaby aVriL lAvIgNe [This message has been edited by xShUgArHiGhx (10-29-2002 04:06 PM).] |

Wow. I'm so glad things are better, even though I didn't know you when you were around here earlier. Thats a great recovery, isn't it. It feels so good to look at yourself and say something along the lines of, "this is me, and I like it." But anyway, I thought your poem expressed it all and in a great way. Welcome back. Gratz! =-Laura-= Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job. |

Hey! I can't really say I missed you ( I left a LONG time ago, and rarely came back long enough to notice anyone's absence, so I never knew you were gone...), but still, it's great to see everything is goin' good! I used to feel the same way, and went through a similar transformation or epiphany, though you expressed it better than I ever could. Great write! Welcome Back! After Love comes Pain, then Love, Then Pain, then Love, then Pain..... does anyone else see a pattern here? Oh well, can't say it's not worth it.

Michele! I love this poem! Recently I realized my own happiness as well, so I kinda know how it is to experience this. I'm glad you are feeling this way too. Oh, btw, welcome back!  --Beth Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping. |

Michele! Hey! It's very nice to see you back here again. The nicest thing of all is to see that you're doing so much better. I missed your writing around these parts but it is so wonderful to notice that you're writing with a new lease on life. The piece is no exception. It's still full of your original spark but from an optimistic perspective. I look forward to reading many more like this from you. Keep on smiling, chicka. ~AF~ Anti Lemming Crusader - Fight against the conformity! |

Very nice work, Michele. You captured the concept of rebirth beautifully in this poem and effectively used it to draw the outline of your own situation. I very much like what you've done in this piece. Great to see you back in the blue pages. Parasite |
