I REALLY LIKE HOW YOU OVERCAME YOUR SADNESS JUST FOR THAT MOMENT TO WRITE THAT POEM ABOUT YOUR FATHER COMMITTING SUICIDE AND HOW YOU FEEL ISIDE. IT WAS A WONDRFUL POEM.

cass

Wow I feel the exact same way I lost my father When I was 3 Which was 14 years ago. Im sorry for you and I know what you go through. I sorry.

Anisha

Hey i'm really sorry about your tht, but your poem really touch me and that was really good. i give u a two thumbs up. Because i know it took alot to write that on hear telling everyone what your going through and what your had to go though with out him being here as you grow up. I'm a 16 year old girl and i don't have my dad I only seen him once when I was like 5 and one old picture of him. So I'm happy for you that you at least got to spend sometime with your dad before he passed away. but I'll keep you in my prayers, and good luck to you.

hey, i liked your poem, i dont know why. ive not had particually personal experience of suicide. I have an Extremly close male friend who keeps trying to commit suicide but fails due to one reason or another. i will never understand why he does it and cant help but feel its my fault. One day he will succed and i will never have understood. I just, feel for you i guess. thankyou xx

This poem really touched me. I can relate to it alot. I lossed my father to suicide in 1994, on Thanksgiving day when I was the age of 8. I still to this day question why but I will always remember all the good times. I will always love my dad.

tina

Stuart, I love your poem can't relate in the same way but my father left me when I was 8 and i haven't found him yet. But don't worry you'll see your father again!

Angie

I have tried to kill myself before and reading your poem makes me realise how selfish it would have been of me. I mean how many people I would have hurt never really occured to me. Thank You very much for writing this and making me think twice before doing it again. And also your words were beautifully written.

Brook

Shannon

What a great poem. I know how you feel about losing someone close to you. When I was 2 mother pasted away from cancer, i am 14 now. Everyone knows it is hard for a female to grow up with out a mother to talk to and also even a male to grow up with out a father. There are many, many nights when I ask the question "Why".why she had to get cancer. And of course there isnt an answer. You are in my thoughts and prayers! God Bless.

Monica

I feel sadden by this tremindous traggedy.But no matter what people say, you are allways loved by that special someone.Love is allways there,it never ends if you truly mean it. You may never no why but you should allways remember he loved you.In remeberance of a man who loved his son.God bless this son who had courage to wright his feelings!

sylvia
