Headstall's Poetry Prompts - 25. Chapter 25 Prompt 4- I Remember

Wow that was amazing, Gary! A journey to find yourself can be hell but it sounds like you weathered it and have come out stronger.

That was terrific Gary. I've been through some shit, but I sort of always knew who I was. I didn't have to deal with those demons.
This poem worked well and the feeling, confusion and torment came through...

The final realization that you're not who/what you thought can be both torment and relief.

I'm so happy that the light dawned and you were set free from your own chains. This was another great poem Gary

So powerful, how you expressed the struggle you felt and I could sense how hard a time it was wrestling with those feelings. Glad that time is behind you Gary, and you are now free to be you.. xox

Thanks, tim. It's been a tough ride at times. It's amazing how big things can look facing you, and how much smaller they get when you're past them. Thanks for the review... and the kind words... cheers... Gary...

Lit took the words right out of my mouth.

 

The vividness of the words that described an amazing journey. Very powerful yet very touching as well - It is as if the reader is there to see it all.

 

Well done Gary

Yes, dugh, it's definitely both, at least for me it was. I look back, and I'm thankful. Thanks for your thoughts and the review... cheers... Gary...

I would never say it was easy, Def. It was a supreme struggle to accept... and here I am... it's all good. Thanks for getting it, and for your terrific support for what I have to say... cheers... Gary...

More powerful stories in poems. They do seem to capture the essence of a moment, a scene, a chapter in our lives. I have enjoyed exploring poetry again

That's nice to hear, B. I want everyone to love poetry. I think it's a wonderful form of expression, and much of the time it gives me peace. Poems can be a snapshot of a memory or a feeling, an emotion... I go back over some of the ones I've written and they speak to me. Thanks for the review, buddy... I love what you say here... cheers... Gary...
