Liam dear friend thank you for taking the time to read and leave a comment. It's poets like you who take the time to leave a word or two whether my poem is acceptable or whether it's an utter disgrace that makes me feel I belong. It's not approval or praise I am looking for, just connection. The acknowledgement and support I have always longed to receive hasn't come and I've waited a long time now. I realize my poetry is not at par but then again I have always been honest of my being a greenhorn. I'm not a natural born poet, I struggle to write but I write as a means of therapy. It hurts but just have to accept some facts of life. Thank you once again...I am currently struggling to come to terms with health issues...and to have someone take time and notice means a lot to someone like me who is waiting for her life to be sentenced. It made me feel someone understood my predicament and it warmed my heart. I am still hoping for a positive outcome...fingers crossed! May God Bless you always...

Well kabsat, having lived the life that is not easy to forget is one drawback of changing but simplicity does create sense of good feeling for this world that is full of inequities.

I don't even buy and or look at them anymore, as they only serve the fancy taste of those that are still in the world of cloudy and hazy touch of reality. But good for them.

A very touching tale my friend..

Hi, orientalkoru,
Waiting, still hoping; flipping pages of magazines… Oh, how well you have captured those feelings of anxiety before the verdict is revealed. a life well-lived deserves to hear "Innocent!" and the sentence should be Life. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for your comforting words and yes Christina...I totally agree with you..I am quite aware even the ones who you expect to lift you up will choose to let you down...never my intention to put myself down though it might look like that...I'm happy with myself and with what I can do. I'm at a point in my life where I've learnt to accept others and their actions and not let them affect me. Thanks once again my lady for your up-lifting comments.

Totally agree with you and Christina my friend Jesse...thanks for dropping in and sharing your thoughts... always appreciated..

Phyllis...Agyammannak kabsat iti isasar-ong mo ditoy. Kabsat inayonnak kadi iti karkararagmo...agyammannak unay kabsat.

Totally agree with you about the magz. I never buy them ...it's to me just pure vanity. Yet while I had my shop I use to collect them from a dairy store(the one's they throw away at the end of the week) for my clients and I must say I've read them but I won't pay for them.

Christian maraming salamat mahal kong kaibigan...nawa'y pagpalain ako ng Maykapal at ng aking kalusugan. Naniniwala ako sa taos pusong pagdarasal...maraming salamat ulit! Salamat din sa pagtangkilik mo sa akin mga simpleng tula! Pagpalain ka nawa ng Puong Maykapa!

Joy I can never thank you enough for your support and how often you've gone the extra mile to show how much you care... You have a deep understanding of people's situations ... I'll never forget! You are a beautiful person.

Thanks Ken much appreciated...

Mick, I knew you were a good man the moment I saw your eyes from your profile photo...and you proved to be one. Thank you for being a champion to a lot of us here in this corner. For the ones of us who know what you are battling with, the strength and calm you project is just awesome and very inspiring. Time is ticking alright, I guess to many of us and I totally agree in the power of a strong mind. Thank you once again!

@123whisper...thank you dear lady for your kind comment. You are beautiful and kind and it's a blessing to have met you in this corner.
