Our family has coped in several ways with mental illness over the years (as have most). I sincerely appreciated the honesty of your poem and the picture you chose to go with it. You really touched me with this!

Hi Opal Rose,
a great presentation, both visually and in poem. Six words that say a lot.
I hate the thought of any person having this stigma attached to their being. And yes, I can't take my eyes away from reading all negativity that so many people and especially women are subject to, hang on to and identify with through a lack of support and self confidence... first rule... be kind to yourself!
All the very best in this contest, yours packs a punch!
With our thoughts we create...
worth, peace, strong, success, love. full, useful, focus, evenness...
Kind regards,
James.

I think some people suffer from a problem like this. I shudder to think about women's abuse and the suffering they go through. This is a good contest piece. Eight words, you did well.

This is impressive, Opal Rose. What a powerful use of 8 words. I particularly like the alliteration and artistic word choice of stained and stigmata. And you even managed a rhyme with your 8 words.
This is well crafted and should do well in the contest. Your message is strong.

Hello Opal,
You've written an excellent poem for the eight or less contest.
The addition of the two rhymes is well done
for such a short poem with a big, much needed message.
It sad how mental health issues don't receive the attention
and help they deserve, though things have improved from
the terrible treatment in the past.
Great choice of art work.
Best wishes, and good luck in the contest.

"Stained with stigmata
Persona non grata"
I am glad that society is finally realizing that mental illness should be considered in the same way as other illnesses, and that there is help for those who need it.

Hello Opal Rose,
This unique visual representation of a mind in disarray but determined to hold onto its sanity is imaginative and powerful.
Well done, write on, and I wish you success in the contest!
My best to you,

This poem is very sorrowful. I look at it and think of what you are trying to say with your words. A poem should be filled with encouragement even though you might not feel that way.

What a unique poem and image. It is perfect for someone in a psychiatrist's office obtaining counseling. Me? No, I haven't gone. But maybe everyone needs to sometime or other.
I see that the person is a woman. I am not insulted because women need help like men.
Good work. Nice poem. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Thanksgiving.
