~~losing Me~~ Comments

Beautiful poem, I admire your strength in not losing yourself while trying to help someone else.

A poem of great merit, a very emotive work. Well done Mary. Best wishes, Andrew

Mary, interesting write, ... kind of like saving a drowning victim, if you're not careful, you can drown right along with them. Great poem! Brian

Mary, wow, I'd love to know if you are talking about a friend or a relative of yours. That poem is just so spot on.

Intense. Very, very intense.

I think this is well written, pregnant with meaning and wisdom. I enjoyed reading it.

Holy moly, girl! This is a very well-written, powerfully poignant piece. KUDOS! Shannon

Intense, compassionate and wise all at once.

Another wonderful poem from Mary. Long term 12 step people are well aware that people must want change themselves. That's the only requirement for membership in some (all?) 12 step groups. It took me YEARS of denial before I admitted needing help. Wonder how many people viewed me as Mary views her friend. Probably too many. Warm Regards Ray

Hey Mary, I love this poem! I can totally relate! I had trouble getting to it last night, but thank god i finally get to read it. GREAT job! Talk to you later ~Sarah

Don't let her get to you Mary, you're doing really well there, look forward always, and never back. You can't save the world, however much you want to do so. I always enjoy reading your poems, they flow so well and have great meaning. Love Ernestine XXX

This is a powerful piece Mary, both on a technical and personal level. The frustration comes through well but it is the triumph of will that overshadows all. In that it is a deeply humanist piece, pointing out the absurdity of engaging in another's negative behaviour.

This has a chilling feel, which i enjoyed. Some of it made difficult reading, probably a bit too close to home for me. You can only do so much. A genuinely thought provoking read. Thank you for sharing. Kindest Regards Slim. x.
