this poem is sad but conveys an important message. It is hard to predict where it will go as the reader travels through it. But the end is a happy one with a moral to boot.

An excellent entry for the quatrain poetry contest. Filled with passion and emotion. Life is so hard when you are down there but sometimes we are the only ones who can save ourselves. I was always told...I was the conductor of my own orchestra. I was once the girl who wanted to fly left broken now grown and wanting to die. Loved these two lines. Such strong impact in these words.

Hi JPilcher, This is a sad desperate poem my friend, I am reading it as though you and a friend are drowning in a river, you get saved and she doesn't, I hope I have got it right, Your poem is beautifully presented with good rhyme and rhythm, good luck in the contest my friend.

Hi JP this is a well written piece of poetry in quatrain style. I think many of us have been in that dark place and we have to save ourselves. Good luck.

I am so glad you saved yourself and dug down deep inside yourself to do it

We have to keep recharging,..so we won't get beyond worn down again

I really like the entire presentation of this poem with the old photograph and coloring of the font and background. Your poem feels genuinely sad and heartfelt. The rhyming is good and I liked the easy, natural flow of each verse. Very much enjoyed, and the best of luck in the contest.

What a really sad poem. Very well written and probably from the heart. If it's well written, one seems to know whether it did really happen.

I love your presentation with the picture, font and colouring. All very nice.
Wish you luck in the contest.
