Partying is so much fun. I can tell, Yakz. But having a mother (whether far or near) just having her in your world is a bless that you won't appreciate until it becomes just a memory. Sad, sad poetry. The peak of sadness. :(

Oh yaki *hugs* this was so heartbreaking. In a way it was hard to read because it's discouraging to think you can't enjoy like others, and that if you did on this night, that you wouldn't be able to share it with your family without words and complications.

I love how your poem not only flowed so naturally, but told a story that was obviously on your mind....like your thoughts running a river and now I'm seeing from your point of view.

Love how you bring about that sense of wondering about Saturday's, then realizing you are not out there enjoying the tastes of the earth like others. You're without your mother, but then the more you think about it, you wonder if it is for the better.

Really great depth- I liked the image of throwing clothes around because not knowing what to wear, and all the frustration that comes from that!

Don't let her get you down. This was just a mountain of sadness, from all the imagery to you feeling like a burden. I'm sorry she looks at you that way or speaks a certain way but I bet in her heart she is happier in each way to think of a daughter like you.

You're a blessing......keep writing, this was such a masterpiece to read, just from your honesty and how you articulate what's really on your mind- not just surface things but true emotions. Not just assumptions, but what you believe is going on.

Great job :]

Nothing wrong with staying home on a Saturday night, Yakster! You don't have to be out partying, numbing your brain with alcohol or drugs to feel as if you have lived a fulfilled life.

You are wanted and you are needed<3 Don't EVER let anyone tell you otherwise.

:( broke my heart, so sorry you don't feel loved by your mother... i'm sure she does she just may not have the right way to show it. cherish her and try to connect with her because you surely will miss her when she's gone. great poem 5/5

Oh Yaks...to read this emotion from you broke my heart.

This was so powerful and terribly sad...darl, you are loved and needed by many, hugs.

Poem wise the flow was spot on and a very creative write.

I just wish Aruba was next door so I could hug you...
