U humble me with such a nice comment hun. Thanx so much

Lilsouthernbelle, luv :-* ~

I have been here. I have walked this road and it is bleak and desolate. Those post-pregnancy hormones are not trifling things. They will do things to you that are astonishing in their ferocity...and horrifying.

Living through postpartum depression is no joke and I am glad you made it. And, shared your journey.

This poem is stark and real and intense, much like the journey. One of the things I find most poignant about it is your last line where you reference the idea that the postpartum depression, while horrific, is the only one not dismissing you. I think I understand that because sometimes during that time, it seems as though everyone dismisses the new mother and her concerns as just concerns that every new mother has rather than realizing something real and serious and different might be going on.

Anyway, this poem feels so full of depth and spirit and, finally, triumph because you survived. :-*

I truly want to thank you for such an amazing comment. It was hard for me to post this n revisit this. At the urging of Xmar82 i did. I will probably be posting a few more dealing with dufferent aspects of my pain. Thank you for sharing part of u with me too

There is so much pain written in this poem, it's as if your very soul has gone in to writing this. I am happy that you survived through this ordeal and I hope that your life will be filled with happiness from now on.

Ty so much for that hun.....life is much much better now. Yes in that poem i did use my pen like a knife to expose all that was inside

Im glad u can see the hope there. I truly like to think that deep down i never lost it completely. So glad u liked it hun

Kisss
