LETTER TO MY FOLKS
This is me, this is who I am
My choices may have disappointed you,
but they are mine
You will learn to accept me, sooner or later
I believe we are all driven by purpose,
Mine has never felt this clear and right
In recent days I wake, filled with hope
That the sun shines,
And radiates it light in the path I shall follow.
Fulfillment engulfs my soul, as I provide the care I was destined to
There are obstacles,
Yet solutions not appealing but comforting arise
I try, and this is the outcome of my best
Depression is the darkest pit of man
A pit I seem to visit more often than not
But I rise… Everyday!
Smile intact, eyes sparkling,
Still looking forward to offer care
I write with tears
God almighty his ears to lend.
I know he listens, but I question his reaction
I question his creation, I question salvation
I question the possibilities of miracles
It seems unreal, but this is my reality we speak
I need you to bring your eyes, heart and thoughts back within
I need you to forget the worlds beyond
I need you to focus… focus on me and the ‘rest’
My choices may disappoint you always,
But I promise you, I have never been happier
That lovely old lady, the old man, their grand-kids,
Wish they had me.
How then it be, that you do not accept me
I may not be the brightest or most colorful in your world
But I assure you, in my world,
I shine, I sparkle and I radiate…
Every color of the RAINBOW.

Thank you Williamsji.
Such a strong piece. I know that I have not pleased everyone with decisions I have made, but they were made to create the best situation for me and mine. It is easy to make decisions for others when you don't have to live the effects. I pray that everyone here can somehow find common ground and know that they still love you even when they don't understand! Anthony
Amen.
Your work is beautifully written and your beautiful soul shines through your words. This world sparkles because of talent like your`s. Well done honey. Love G xx
thank you so much for the kind words. much appreciated.
I wrote this piece with pen and paper while trying to study, then I decided to share it on cosmofunnel, with the thought that at least one person would read it. Only for me to log into my account and discover that this months contest was "depression". Thank you all for the kind words, they mean a lot.
Much Love!! :)
Greetings and Wow Naomi,
And share your story you did, with sparkles in your eyes, confidence
not only in your write but in your heart and voice as well...There is not enough respect
leant from any nor can be written on this page that can amount are, add up to the amount of pride, you have placed in this powerfully open hearted and open minded written poem, but I still offer
mine, (in fact) all that I have to give and can muster up,(just as those commenters above me). You have conquered that which you once felt, had conquered you and we your readers felt all the pain
and suffering you once contained in your heart spilled valiantly upon paper, from
your pen, in some cases the only friend to be claimed by many, in their bought
with depression and at least they,(your pad and pencil), agree with all you are
conveying or have to say, for they are the instruments, that represent you
and how you truly feel and they write down,(only) that truth, which you feel and hold so dear to your
heart and will tell no one, unless allowed to, by you, in your physical annotation.
Your pencil and pad puts into play, only that which you want to be conveyed to those whom you trust the most .I can go on and on with this but will not talk your ear off but will say,
you have opened the door and your heart, to a group of individuals on this
site, that has come together as a collective whole, whom care more than enough,
to respond to your remarkable poem and in fact to you in general and as a
whole, those that have let you down in the past are few in comparison now, as opposed to the many, that have taken you and what you have to say and stand for, to heart and on
open ears and I am one of those hearts and opened ears. Keep writing and we
will continue to fill that void with the voices you have collected so far, such as those above and including mine, that believe in you, through their comments and open hearts and I assure
you, in our world, you shine, sparkle and radiate, every color of the (RAINBOW) as well…..
Keep the faith,
Jim
Wow! I am speechless. Thanks Jim. I really appreciate this.
Hello Naomi,
Dear lady, thank you but appreciations are not in order, just the notion to know you will continue defying all posted, (against you) odds, become a thing of the past and write your heart out on this site and to your many readers and friends, that have poured into that same pot of sentiments,(your pot) in order to assure you, that more, out there care for you, then you will ever know but will soon find out.... Their gestures and comments to you, are sincere and straightforward and more than any, they truly do care, myself for sure, is included...You are a wonderful lady and powerful writer and for all those, that tried to rain on your parade and who fail to acknowledge this and you in general, with this poem, you have placed yourself and your parade, in the midst of the sun, where there will exist no more rain and most definitely, (their lost is forever our gain).....Keep your heart open and pencil continuously in operation, we hear you and more than any, feel you.....
Warmest of all regards,
Jimmy
