Comment from Lena Borghi
An inspiring write with confident, uplifting affirmations. Sometimes life drags us down and is up to us and only is to get us back up again. This is definitely an anthem for that. Bravo!
Best wishes,
Lena

Comment from dragonpoet
This tells of a person who has lost himself in what others say he is or should be. He has found himself by having faith in what he sees as his true self. It also has a touch of religious faith to it. The short lines keep the thoughts flowing quickly and all the space gives the reader time to think.

Hello Victor. The thing about writing is to put to words those things that plague us or give us such an immense amount of pleasure. To be able to see what life is and how it has been lived, think that over and then express it is a true talent. Whenever you write your friends and people you don't even know gravitate to you as bears to honey because you make a reader believe in the words you give to us. Well done my friend, less is more in this case don't you agree? Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
xoxo Kiwi

Comment from Pamusart
Doesn't it suck that we can't go back in time to change our behavior and cause a better outcome? Are we sure it would be a better outcome? Similarly, when we have tried to fool ourselves and become someone we are not to please somebody else, it will not work. He was able to become himself again. Thank you for sharing

Comment from Alexander Vasa
Hello, this is a fast-moving poem with a lot of zest. Very different and enjoyable. Ultimately, you have to love and believe in yourself. That is good advice. I noticed no errors, it flowed down the page and had a good strong ending. Thanks for sharing your writing, Ana.

Hello, my Lady. How are things down there?
Comment from F Scott Hafner
A very nice piece that is well constructed from my point of view. Some of us, all of us, go down paths we would like to have chosen otherwise. I would like to see it end at I will be, once again. Believe in yourself, just states the obvious you already so well established.

Yes, I thought about that. But, I also thought the poem might sound too narcissistic otherwise.

I've been having a hard week. I'm sure it's my seasonal depression wanting spring mixed with spring break which brings up memories of the past that aren't good. I think this is just want I needed to read today.

Tough poem...interesting analogies and grouping of stanza's. The questions as answers /statements makes it an interesting and comprehensive read. I like the photo presented with this it is as interesting as the poem itself. Nice job.
