Thank you, brother. It means a lot.

Thank you. Your vote means a lot as do your words.

Thank you very much Susan. I appreciate the vote and kind words.

I've written of depression in the past as well. It's a hard pill to swallow but one that many must contend with. This is a great outpouring and hopefully as medicinal for you as those of us who needed to read it. You have a purpose and this might just be it. Great job, Kristen. more »

This rips at the heart. It's sad that anyone has to feel lonely but it a fact of this life. I, too, get lonely. Great write here, buddy.

Beautiful poem and so sentimental. I don't have kids but have always held a special place in my heart for little girls. They are precious. Great work, my friend.

Congratulations on 2nd place, Janet. Great job.

Congratulations on the win, Paul. Great job.

This is simply too well written, creative and poetic to not get my vote. I am a staunch stickler for good writing. This is that and more. I wish whoever wrote this masterpiece the very best...so long as it doesn't beat mine. ;-) Best of luck, fellow poet. more »

Okay, whose ass do I need to kick for hurting my buddy? This one is gut-wrenching, and I hope it's fictional or, if not, a past occurrence. It's amazing to see you writing again and sharing your heart. Are you okay? more »

This poem is for everyone. We all suffer disabilities of some form. This is a beautiful offering for humanity, Diane. Thank you for sharing.

Beautifully written piece and yet to true and bittersweet in its truth. You've described the current state of America as well as many others. It must end. It will end. Thank you for sharing your gift, Abby. more »

Easy 5 stars. Funny thing too because just yesterday I watched a deep interview with Terry Crews. He opened up about this very topic. This was an excellent write and read, Joe. Thank you for sharing your work.

Hence, what is the true meaning of success we must ponder? This is the story of each of us to our own relative degree via each corresponding experience each of us perceives. Is there truly a mountain peak or is true wisdom an everlasting venture toward some greater likening no human could possibly fathom? It appears the truest of wisdoms are gathered through the fires of journeying itself. There can be no peak for those forever venturing to unearth the truth of our purpose. Perhaps Helen Keller said it best when she said, "I know there is eternity for inside me are eternal longings." - The very thought brings me humbly to tears. Thank you for sharing this amazing piece, Niranjan. more »

Very astute, aware response here, Donka. Thank you very much for stopping by. I appreciate it a lot.
