I'm just wondering Can't we just Turn down the volume Even if it's just for tonight I think my dreams Grow tired And my heart wary From all this running War marching Over the frequency Death and perspective Knocking on my door And here we are Lying in bed Trying to chase away our own demons Can't we Oh God Just can't you Turn down the volume I know the saying If it doesn't kill you It will only make you stronger It totally Puts everything into perspective For me right now But I feel so Irritated so Frustrated It seems like We have to I have to Grow up too fast I just feel terribly lost And extremely bad Death and reality Perspective and war Knocking Pounding Down my door I hear the angels Playing on my radio Heavenly tunes I'm always a day late To get the news I didn't get the memo I didn't get the fax Because now I just found out That Heaven Took one of their daughter's back...

I think you just said what many here are feeling. Your writing grows stronger. |

From beginning to end, you had my attention. I, and most likely most of the other readers of this poem, feel the same way. --and yes, "Heaven took one of it's daughters back."---perhaps to spare her even more grief... Peace & Light, EA |

Kristen you write with such eloquence and empathy, though this hurt to read I had to smile at your talent unfolding on these pages |

God, I love that title. And the poem is clear-eyed upon the truth, and about being forced to grow up in a really crappy time to grow up in. I hope this makes it into the book, despite its length. |

Touching, so very touching.  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

Beautifully done. I think we've all felt this way, and prayed this prayer. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
