Maryanne, I needed to read this today.

You have a way that really drags me into every word, every emotion and thought you provoke is powerful and raw. This piece was just as emotional but the strength and power is absolutely breathtaking.

You are not broken. I know that much. You are undoubtedly whole...and beautiful.

Maryanne, your imagery is so flawless here. The very first line hit me the most because we all have "bad" days and to be able to overcome them makes us rise or grow so much stronger. You truly spoke all of your words in the poem.

Nominated! Soooo hope this wins.
