not gay as in happy
FredPeyer said:
Beautifully written, with so much emotion and truth. I do hope the world will finally wake up and accept everybody no matter who or what they are. I am only a \'lefty\', but a few hundred years ago I would probably have been burned at the stake!

Honestly and truly has touched me, and I don\'t say that about much. I support you, I admire your strength, and inspire to have your displayed courage. Well done.

This was so well written and I commend you for getting it out and sharing it with us. So many people don\'t understand mental illness. I\'m so sorry you went through all that and your mother didn\'t understand! Very touching story

Boaz, I like your simple, straight forward style, the repetition of \'and\' in the first lines. Well written!

a love letter to my mustache
FredPeyer said:
Boaz, great write about your mustache. I understand that in your case it was something you did not want, whereas in my case I let it grow in my mid-twenties and still have it.

Boaz, you hit the nail right on the head! Nobody REALLY wants to die. They want the pain to go away and think that there is no other way. And they are definitely NOT bad people!!!
Thank you for a very thoughtful poem that should maybe be put up in every high-school and hospital ward.

No answers, but writing is better than ODing IMO. You get to argue with the responders and that\'s always fun.
Actually, you get to have responders, and that
is always
fun

\"love yourself first\" my foot
FredPeyer said:
Boaz, you are right. You CAN give love and not love yourself. Your poem says: \'I hate myself more days than I love myself\'. Aren\'t you saying that there are days when you DO love yourself? Do the days when you give love not also trigger that love of self?
The more love you give, the more you will receive, the more you will love yourself. And I think that is exactly what your last stanza says.

Yes, beauty in each struggle. And the rough diamond is shaped and smoothed to reveal its true worth :)

god as a woman
FredPeyer said:
Your poem reminded me of a religion class a long time ago where the teacher, who was female, told us:
God is a woman, and SHE is black!

FredPeyer said:
Boaz, a very well written poem with an important message. Would be nice to have this one posted in the New Yorker or some other influental newspaper. It really brings home the point that we have to be more accepting of the differences in all of us. My wife is Chinese, and in the little village in Switzerland where I grew up, at that time they looked at her as if she was an alien.

counting by even numbers
orchidee said:
Well, it\'s ironic maybe, that 40 is an EVEN number, if even numbers are meant to be good for you?! And yet it was good, in that you survived. A good write Q.

Very good and very emotional writing. You do put it all out there. I am glad you wrote a comment about your poem and am happy for you that you are better and safe now.

Beautifully written, with much emotion and understanding. Now I get at least an inkling on how it must feel to be trapped in a different body.
Thank you for sharing.

Welcome to the site Sebastian. Wow, that is quite a piece of work you present as your first poem. Very impressive, written from the heart. I cannot even start to imagine how you must have felt, growing up, but I could feel the pain in your words. Very well written. Would like to read more from you.
