It's the little things that silently hide in our memory, that help us process our thoughts & feelings. Something so simple, yet you chose it, & help, rather than continuing to where you had been headed. I say yay for chocolate frosty!
Well done on being brave enough to share.

I'm going to nominate this tomorrow if i can and no one beats me to it. I absolutely love the rawness of this poem and the real feelings you shared.

There are many things in life to talk about, but expressing yourself is the only way to let go and you did it very well.

Officially nominated

Judging comment:

I gave this piece 7 points although it deserves 10. But I just wanted Maryanne to edit it, reshape it, rewrite it. Because its beauty can be tripled, maybe by making it more ambiguous, more subtle? Anyway, the journey of failed suicide attempt and the rehablitation afterwards was so moving. The reader can easily sympathize. I also liked the subtle rhymes in the first half. But why the footnote at the end? The message doesn't need explanation.
