Enlighten

WOW! Wow, wow, wow. I was not expecting to open up this poem and be blown away.

Isn't it strange that when we experience loss, we crumple in on ourselves and self destruct? ...when what we should do is pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and give ourselves a kick in the butt. It looks like you are strong enough to do the latter now, but it's taken you a few tries, and it's taken you a few failures. What's beautiful is that you have grown, you have learned your lessons, and you are willing to put into practice your new wisdom with quiet dignity.

Remember Yakzz - Don't be your worst enemy, for you are your best friend in the end, and when you give love away, make sure you keep a little love for yourself :)

"your absence
has enlightened me,
like your presence once did.

you taught me both lessons;

I could live with you,
I could live without you.."

Perfection.

Amen to all of the above. But what will your decision be I wonder.....?

Very inspiring! =)

I would love for you to read your poem on my radio show by phone. If interested email me, thanks !

Yaki,
So much emotion packed into this powerful poem. I believe it takes a true heart to be enlightened by the occurences in our life and to understand that you can live with something or without. AWESOME and congrats on the win.

Yaki, It's a powerful piece of poetry, With the emotion portrayed yet the confidence at the end was breathtaking

"I can live with you
I can live without you"
^ Often so true but we take the easy option, but this felt like you were ready to take a chance

The flow was flawless, surely nominated,:)
