We are no different from each other, we want love, food, shelter...

So true. What alarmed me was the part about weighting fifty something pounds at 17...

Well written piece.

As he painted images to you as he spoke-you have translated those images here for us in a very poetic way.

"You survived eternity
to tell us about incomprehensible things,
I learnt again what empathy was."

A very moving piece Karla

"Some day we shall see
we are no different from each other"

We all bleed red. :)

Karla you are my star and my sun, but bring tissues to your next poem, I really need to wipe my eyes.

I loved it

Superb Write Karla!!!
