Hi Jo,

That is wonderful.  And can you see how poetry has turned your thoughts into positive ones. You refer to him loving you deep down and his has been hard working. 

Life is full of things we want but never got. You want him to hold you and tell you he loves you. He just isnt that kind of man. But knowing he does love you is next best thing.

My dad passed on in 1992.

Thanks WK

I sort of knew that maybe he isn't that type of guy or father that says to his kids - I love you.  But I know deep down that he does and I love him so much too. (now I'm crying, why do I have to cry)

He always wants best for his kids. God I need a hug right now.

OK, enough tears - thanks for your support with my poem writing.  I'll come up with another one soon.

I'M CHANGING 🙂

I think I'm heading for a change

It's between a good range

I'm starting to feel okay

Maybe now it's my day

My psych told me he is proud

I screamed - it was so loud

He told me he see changes in me

I am so happy I am jumping with glee

I know I will have ups and downs

But I will not frown

Because maybe my dark cloud

Has lifted and I'm proud

I now have hope

That I will be cope

This depression in me

Is lifting and I'm starting to be free

I know I still have a long way to go, but tonight my psych told me that he is glad that I am changing and noticing my behaviour.  He said he has noticed great changes in the past few weeks.  To be told this brought a smile because it means that I have hope and strength to keep going.  And for someone to acknowledge this and tell me means so much to me.

I really hope that others on here start to feel a bit more positive.

Little black dog run along home

its time for you to leave me alone

little black dog off you go now

please give me some peace, you know how

but back you come when I think you wont

i should know how to deal with you, but still I don't 

i should make you my friend, that's what I should do

but when you're around, I always feel blue

so little black dog, please run along home

i really really want you to leave me alone

Why do I analyse everything all the time?

the way people look at me, if they talk to me

why did they talk to me everyday, and then say nothing yesterday?

are they trying to avoid me? Do they think I'm weird?

why am I trying to figure this out? Going over everyday in my head?

maybe they were just busy, they do have work to do

but I feel left out, alienated, not good enough

or was it me who made no effort to laugh or smile like I did before

why do I need an answer to this? Is it because of the black dog barking at my door?

Little secret, little secret

Like whispers in my ear.

Little secret, little secret

You are all that I can hear.

Little secrets, little secrets.

They breed in the dark.

Little secrets, little secrets.

A fire waiting for a spark.

Bigger secrets, bigger secrets.

Why didn't I see you grow?

Bigger secrets, bigger secrets.

You make me feel so low.

Bigger secrets, bigger secrets.

You are all that I can think.

Bigger secrets, bigger secrets.

You charm me, with a smile and a wink.

Big secrets, big secrets. 

They fill the gulf between me and you.

Big secrets, big secrets.

Someone is to blame, but who?

Big secrets, big secrets.

I feed you like a flame.

Big secrets, big secrets.

Filled with guilt, pain and shame.

Clever GA.

This poem was recently sent to a female friend of mine. She has survived cancer twice.

Over the years its become obvious to me

as far as any mind can see

your love and care has made its mark

and its made its mark on me

And just as red wine can

you have grown on me

and I'll be there when in need

that I guarantee

So enjoy the time you have left

rest on a special seat and feel free

you're to young to be my mother

- but you are a mum to me.....

sitting

thinking

thoughts going round and round

happy

sad

not sure how I feel

confusion

disappointment

what should I do now

lost

lonely

thoughts going round and round

TODAY

today is a beautiful day

the sun is shining through

I have a list of things to do

but may not see them through

i'll tick them off as I go

i'll feel like I've achieved

i'll look back later and see what I've done

I might even feel relieved

because today I didn't sit here

sit here feeling down

today I made the most of it

today I've made some ground
