    Phew* I was about to call you if this as about you..

    Self harm is so sad and scary to go through. Its hard to watch someone do it and know they are going through something they think that abuse can heal...

    Maryanne, this poem was incredible. I mean really incredible. I like that you had no form for this piece, that you wrote like a story, yet it still remained a poem. I noticed the metaphors you threw in there and it didnt break up the story at all, it flowed together so well...I loved how fast I read this because I wanted to keep going on and on because the way you word your poetry keeps me so intrigued. I loved this!

    Brilliant. Your title goes for the message you want to convey here. Its really difficult to depict the turmoil of your friend and the way she came out of it. And most importantly, applauds to you to have 'heard what she said' and pen this as if you felt her pain. And I wish you be there for her always to let her not reminisce of the worst she has experienced.
    Peace.
    Excellent piece

    I can relate a lot to this piece, and it brings back difficult memories but it also speaks a really powerful message to others, and the metaphors and creativity you incorporated make it interesting without crawling away from the whole issue, a really strong piece...

    I applaud you for making it work this way, Maryanne,

    How you played around and split the personality of this one person is amazing. And this piece is just amazing! I really love this one!
