Maryanne, there you go again boggling my mind....this was so intense, so raw, so upfront. I loved it as always,but seriously!! I love the attitude you had in this write and I feel like that last question you raise is really thought provoking. Often times people struggling that do have people that love them and want to help but they push them away or block them out. Its sad and they need to wake up. Life is what we make of it.

This was brilliant.

OMG, I can relate to this...I've pushed people away out of fear, out of self reliance, because I didn't want to lean on anyone, and relationships have been frayed, ruined because of it but you don't realise it until its too late. You got that through and the strength in this piece, like you are hammering it home, the importance of family and realising those who genuinely care.

Such a thought provoking write here, full of emotion and quick paced and in your face poetry that is pure brilliance.

Awesome x
