It Took Me A While I stirred and urged Without any plan Emotions to free My writing began A self esteem zero My confidence nil Emotions to free I had pages to fill Having to conquer My unworthy fear Emotions to free Written with a tear It was never easy Words to convert Emotions to free When feeling hurt It was a challenge Removing doubt Emotions to free Poems tumble out In strength to gain Feeling stronger Emotions to free Confined no longer Many poems later Now I can smile Emotions to free It took me a while Hope© 2001 |

Hope, It may have taken you awhile...but look at the results!! Very well done, and I know how it feels to have all of these thoughts bottled up inside and here I sit without anything to help pop the cork!! hugs, Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

What can I say that I have not already said ... this is a most excellent and revealing piece. You should be proud. |

Hope, you have expressed yourself well. Your emotions are certainly free, now you can write. And you have done well. |

![]() I love those free emotions. Yes! As MLK said in a different context, "Free at last, thank God, I'm free at last!" |
