    Interesting; sounds like someone is crying out for help but not in a physical way, more asking someone to come and sit with them for a time? Perhaps I took a meaning that you didn't intend from that However, I enjoyed it - as I am finding myself to be enjoying most of your works!

    An interesting piece...

    An interesting piece; it's important to have interaction with other people - an exchange of ideas is a great way to gain insight and understanding without having to endure the pain directly; the Bible is full of such examples of learning "from the mistakes others"; good job. --Joe

    It seems to me that although the sentiments are fine and real this is merely a number of prose sentences shaped into verses. I think the poet could do more to create something stronger with these ideas. Might be an idea to find a formal poetic style - cinquain, sonnet etc - that you can use to advantage. Free verse should be more than shaped prose, don't you think
    ?

    Very nicely done, and I like the form. I do have one niggle: the last stanza, "them"...to whom does the word apply? You shift the focus from speaking to to a person (you), to speaking to God. Perhaps if you change the verb to "GOD GIVES ME..." or "GOD CAN GIVE ME...", then the word "them" to "you". Just a suggestion.

    Still, very nicely penned.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Scary thought, someone entering and seeing into my little head space
    It's good to have someone to talk to and who will really listen at times you need a friend the most. This is a really nice, sweet and compassionate poem, well done
