Absolutely, truer words have never been penned. The picture significantly promoted this provocative message. Excellent and easy to relate with.

You say it best in a few words.
Although our hearts are burned, the
happy memories help us survive.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing, life can be a bumpy road but perhaps only a lesson to better understand even though not understood at the time, why at times we have to climb a very tall mountain so to see a much larger view, there is never only one answer. Love all there is. :) Be strong.

This happened to me yesterday. I sliced my arms right open. I cannot type well because they hurt but cling film holds the wounds together. Cutting is the only way I know not to hurt someone when I feel like I am losing control. A very fitting write as a lot of us feel very low this time of year although my bi-polar is all the time pretty much. All my love my sweet dear friend love Meia xxx

There are feelings and emotion in your words. Often painful memories arise and take hold of our thoughts. Your words are true to life and many can relate to your theme.

Hi Linda, this is a powerful 5-7-5poem. I liked it a lot. Yes, painful memories can be difficult to get away from. I do hope you've succeeded. This is a poignant short poem. So emotional and very well written. All the best. Ulla: xx

This poem is poignant, beautiful in its truth and relatable.
Painful memories follow us all over, just about from the womb
to the grave. My most painful memories were the birth of my son.
But the joy that came out of the pain, the love, far outweighed
even the pain of death.

A great poem.

Time does not heal all wounds and you nailed it well with this little poem. I liked it and the photo is a good representation of your words. Good luck!

It seems they do. But what about the happy ones? Try to concentrate on them for a period every day. Relax your body -- all of it, including your thoughts -- then just let happy memories flow. :)

Your poem had great impact for me. I agree with your author's notes that the painful memories seem, at times, to overwhelm the good ones. I think that's especially true for some people more than others whether due to circumstances of emotional nature.

    Hi WFD, sometimes it feels like when it rains it pours...and the bad memories never go away...I guess you just have to find a place in your heart and lock them away...I know with the help of God...we will get through...it just takes time...thank you for a wonderful review...love Linda xxoo

    Hi, Linda. You are so right about finding a place in your heart to lock them (memories) away. I think the hardest thing for me is that not feeling the same sharp loss in the situation seems, at times, to be a betrayal of all they meant to me. Grief is so very complicated and each case is different.

    You're very welcome, my friend.

    Hugs, Bev

    HI Bev, we all have to deal with our grief in our own way...each pain has it's own direction...some will pass faster than others...but to live a good happy life...it can't happen if you are always in pain...it consumes you...I know...one day at a time Bev...love xxoo
