Beautiful... bleak... and absolutely hits the nail on the head for me!

Thanks Tanya!

You write eloquently Tanya.

Very moving, heartfelt words.

Awwwwww thank you Sunshine smile, Liz and Paige. And thank you again Jamie, for posting.

I wrote this a while ago now. But this came out, in it's entirety, from start to finish. I was feeling angry at the time, but I allowed myself to be creative with it. It was carried by my mood. Thank you for reading guys. And for your constant support. And for taking time out of your days to comment. It means a lot.

Powerful, empowering and empathic. Superb. I read it a second time saying a male pronoun. It applies to both genders. Thank you so much for writing and posting.
