I wouldn\'t like to live any higher than about the 4th floor now. I would feel trapped, even before this sad event. Though when very young I used to live on a 14th floor.

such sad news it bought tears to my eyes. so unfortunate, and most of the people in the block died. very few survivors and they can\'t even give us a list of names of who\'s missing.

Wow! Your writing is sooo good. I\'m always very touched about poetry. Reading it inspire us to write more. My first language is portuguese and I can create good rhymes in Portuguese but my English is limited. I\'m excited because I\'ve found this community.

A fine write G/F.. Why do I spoil it and say \' And then it darkened over and rained\'!? heehee. Well we need rain too, I suppose, but that\'s not your point here!
Know what you mean - I see some little birds first thing some days. A big, but friendly, black cat, did not catch any, thankfully!

Nicely done. When you are a child and you say \"I\'m hungry\" and your parent says \"no you are not\". You are happy and you hear \"wipe that smile off your face.\" There is nothing to be happy about. And why so sad, cheer up. You pick a color,and you hear \"that\'s a stupid color.\"
Soon you realize, that what others think is more important than your own feelings. And you are screwed until you get therapy.

I do it at times - in or out of church. If someone is grumpy, or gives me a dirty look, etc, my \'nervous disposition\' starts up.
Then I get to a stage after a while of thinking \'F...them\' (pardon me!), and my fearfulness can change to anger, including being angry with myself. I say \' Come on now, snap out of it; you can only be yourself\'! I would never be my true self otherwise.

On his death bed my father asked me to take care of my mother after he was gone . That was in March 2000 . I had just separated from my soon to be x wife . In the previous December (1999) I underwent two surgeries for thyroid cancer . In January I started radiation treatments . During all this time from January til March I was sitting in the hospital with my father helping my mother to take care of him . During this time since I lived in another city I moved in with mom to help . I sat in the hospital 12 hours a day just weeks out of surgery and suffering from radiation sickness . Even after all that I was a pall bearer at his funeral . All that was 17 years ago and since then I have taken care of mom who is an invalid now . I helped her throught 5 surgeries and countless trips to the emergency room during that time . She will be 92 in a couple of months and presently going strong . So I\'ve sacrificed 17 years to keep a promise in which I feel trapped but I would do it all again . During all this time my faith in God has been tested over and over again . But each test I passed and my faith became stronger and I no longer feel trapped but blessed .

This poem speaks volumes to me. I was stuck in a rut for quite a long time all because I did not want to hurt anyone if I left my hometown to follow my dreams. I am happy to say that I finally got out of the prison that I was stuck in just by pursuing my course in life. Thank you for your work here.

I concur fully with the wisdom of this fine poem, Goldfinch. Why else are we here, but to experience and learn from the lessons we have chosen?
