there's an emptiness i feel inside where my self-destructive thoughts use to hide such a strange void where hurt use to be now, just a hollowness inside of me a welcome change, but strangely, i feel lost yet no longer can i afford what they cost so many years they'd been around creating me, then tearing me down what is to come in pain's place what kind of challenges will i face tomorrow is but a dream that never comes or so it seems today is now i can but try to get through each hour as it passes by |

Wonderful first poem for Passions! Welcome! I hope to see much more from you in the near future.  "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other course, no other way... No day but today" ~Broadway Musical RENT~ *Cassandra Roseen* |

Hey, and welcome to passoins. Here is a word of advice from the not so wise, "Carpe Diem" thats supposed to be latin by the way. It means cease the day. So go out and make this day yours. Keith W. Mullin Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you. |

WOW!!!!! You have conveyed the words that evaded me!! This is how I feel too, for many, many reasons. Just keep hanging on and maybe thoes feeling will be replaced in the near future. My Dad use to say..."The sun doesn't't shine in one dogs butt all the time. If the dog doesn't move, the sun will!" Sorta gives me hope...;-) If you can't make it so, you need to let it go! |

Welcome to Passions! This poem hit me square in the teeth...so much that I can relate to that I just want to reach out and hug ya...I hope you find the healing that is here within the "walls" of Passions and the freedom you can find in writing the pain out. You have made an excellent start and while it hurts at first to look at it all and write it down...pretty soon it goes hand in hand and then you can set it free. Sorry to be so long winded but you really reached out in this piece...Great work!!!!!! |

You mean to say that you kept this wonderful poem from us for an extra two weeks...... because of nerves? Well, a warm welcome to Passions, and I thoroughly enjoyed your first poem. It has a power and simplicity that conveys the pain and hope so clearly. Thank you for sharing it with us. And next time: Be stwong and berry cuwageous.... (Elmur Fudd impression... See ya around, Linda Munday [This message has been edited by linda munday (edited 10-03-2000).] |

Welcome to Passions! There's a place here for joy, pain and every emotion you can reveal and many do. It's a place for expression and we're glad to have you! Kathleen |

bebo great poem, so filled with emotions and I can feel what your saying so many times we all feel this void and wander why can't we fill it and just go on but we must strive to fill this void that's what keeps us going from day to day, no one can have a empty hollow soul we must strive to be |

oodles of responses to your very first post - it has to tell you something - and not just that we're friendly people - you have talent - expose it- work it - exercise it - let it grow and blossom |
