I do like your poem a LOT! But (there is always a \'but\'), can you imagine a life consisting ONLY of challenges and confrontations? I believe that we need these empty spaces to give us breathing room and to let us get ready for the next challenge. I agree with you though that these empty spaces may be hard to endure.

The empty spaces are important to make them the best. It is with the empty spaces that we can create a new meaning for life.
With the gaps lays the answers.
I love your poem Louis. Very beautiful and poetic. Your words carries a great question. For you and many to answer.

We need challenges and confrontations to fill the gaps - that\'s what makes life so great - and a great write to boot Louis.

A fine write L. I believe it\'s the \'inner self\' that needs changing, not (or not only) the \'outward state\' of \'society\' as some abstract thing.

A HARD LESSON

I think with many of us on MPS we find that writing helps us to cope with our lives. There will be an end to your suffering, it may be hard but looking forward is the cure.

A HARD LESSON
Accidental Poet said:
I think its true, we can bury our bad childhood memories while we\'re too young to understand them. And then somehow they resurface when we\'re older for re-examination. It\'s a fine art of leaving behind the hurt and still learn from it. All too often the pain is so strong that it can overwhelm us and recovery will still be elusive. Understanding will come when we\'re ready to understand. ; )

Facing our demons is the way to freedom and as this verse admits this is a hard lesson to learn Louis - \"fury hurts most those who to anger are prone\".

Louis, while I am one of the lucky ones with no ghosts in my closet, I can instinctively understand where you and others are coming from. While I may not be able to help, I want you all to know that I do feel for you and sincerely hope you will break free of these chains. And I am convinced that writing is the best therapy! So keep on writing, we will be behind you 100%!

malubotelho said:
Louis, I love the way you state your suffering because unresolved matters from your childhood. Like Angelica said reading your poem help us cope with our own problems. Thank you for doing so. I\'m at this process too of going back and put the flashlight on my past to see what I left behind that needs to be reaccessed and brought to light. It is hard for me because I don\'t feel the damage. It is like if it is there I\'m like in comma because I don\'t see it. I will keep looking though. Thanks again

Words so true
Facing the childhood
I thought I\'d done mine 6 months ago
But today I see I\'m still a long way on that road to go.
Your words give me strength to face tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing this Louis. Eventually we all have to confront our mental unresolved problems. I myself keep asking if I have any unresolved feeling concerning my childhood and the problems my family went through because of my alcoholic father but I don\'t feel bad about. It is like it does not affect me. But I ask just to make sure.
