Trusting a gut feeling is always the best way to go. This poem came out nicely. Educated with plenty big words and well written. Excellent work.

This reminds me of some of my earlier poems where I wrote about embracing one's shadow self. We can learn from our depression. Wonderful advice, Titan.

Thanks so much, Spitfire, for this encouraging review. It seems I have been in a frame of mind lately to help others. There are folks that write at Fanstory, who seem to have some deep-seated issues, so I wanted to share some of the things that have worked for me.

Yes, I've noticed that too--the deep seated issues of so many. Sigh.

Comment from mystery poet

Exceptional

God created us all in His image and loves us all
the same. He gave us the ability to express ourselves,
the choice to succeed and earn our way to the top of
accomplishment in what ever we try to do. We then,
are our own enemy when we entertain ideas that tell
us that we are not that smart or talented or educated.
The only thing stopping us are our discouraging thoughts.
I am pleased to have found this today. It lifts the
reader and I know your friend must be so proud to
have you backing her up and giving her a pat on the
back when she overcomes another self made obstacle.
Love the gorgeous roses.

Thanks so much, mystery poet, for this most insightful and thoughtful review and for the exceptional rating. I really appreciate it!! Your review lifted my spirit, knowing that I wrote something that had a visceral effect on a reader is the ultimate recompense for any poet. The problem with me is when I tell someone I'm their friend, I'm willing to accept their warts and all other imperfections - LOL. It takes me a while to get to friendship, so I don't take it lightly. Thanks again! Dossie

True friendship can only be true when you
know the one your befriending. You learned
that already and that's why it workd. Good
for you and your friend. Love to you...Joyce

What you say is true for most people. We do know what to do if we just listen to ourselves. It is in the fabric we are made of. There are times I get discouraged but a little time by myself talking to God I get the answer. Good job, Nancy

Hello Dossie
I love this well crafted and laid out poem. I love the artwork as it issues a feeling of love. Loving one's self is hard for some of us. I like the push to strive to be more ready to see and accept the good in life. Lovely poem here my friend
