A Simple Question Comments

This strikes me as a poem you had to write, otherwise the emotions would scratch themselves on the walls of your mind. That's one of the benefits of poetry - you can get ALL THOSE SENTENCES out in the open, and look at them lined up on the page knowing that the poem is your Declaration of Independence. And I mean this in all sincerity. If you will permit me to speak honestly, whatever reasons your father has for returning to the family are HIS reasons, but you are a separate human being, and you don't owe him anything except the love you freely give, or don't give. It's entirely your free choice. If you feel too hurt at this point to give him positive emotions, so be it. He will have to wait for you. Period. You see I agree with you this is a SIMPLE QUESTION, but it gets complicated when you have to consider all the other things in your life. Like your happiness. Never abandon your Pursuit of Happiness. It's the most precious thing in your life. (I live very far away from you in Minnesota, USA, so it's safe for us to talk by means of this secure link. I clicked on your site because I like contacting people in faraway places. And after reading your poem and your bio I just wanted to lend you moral support, because I think you're in dire need of someone saying, You're right as the rain and the sun, Amy, and don't let anyone make you think you're wrong! Be strong and do good work!)

wow, wow wow... im really sorry...that was deep and if he read that..he should answer it...that was amazing

eh I'm sorry Amy. This sounds like a very difficult thing...i hope this helps you to heal, you have alot of talent.

Dear Amy, this is the first poem of yours that I am reading. OH god, it kills me with the child's stabbing questions..........u r knifing through my heart.

This poem says so much, and contains a lot of pain. Perhaps one day in the future you will get your answer to the question. Tango.
