Comments : Dying To Live:

  • 6 years ago

    That's a whole lot of suffering and this line:
    I'm no longer the woman I was before
    Now I can barely even meet my needs.

    threw me off completely and I realized you are writing this from
    a woman's point of view. Someone who is close to you and is having
    just a few days or so to live and that itself is a struggle because of the pain.

    It hurts to see the one you are close to go through this...touching write
    take care

    JUDGES COMMENT: Scott always has flawless rhyming in his pieces which alone makes me goosebumpy because I love a bit of rhyming poetry especially as it's so well laid out like in this piece. The story in this is breathtakingly beautiful but so sad and resonates with me a little bit too much
