Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Depression: 12 of 67

Depression is so much more than "extreme sadness." It's actual physical pain that wreaks havoc on your entire physical and mental being. As a teenager, my father passed away at an early age from heart problems and I, being a daddy's girl, had no idea how to cope. I was the oldest though, my brother was only 4, so I guess I f...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Expressions of love: 44 of 196

The most magical person in my life doesn't know I care. She doesn't know I stand aside and watch her sitting there. Day by day I watch her talking and laughing out loud, will we ever be together or remain two lost souls in the crowds? My time is getting shorter each day as I stand aside. Will she ever know I care Or will the...
Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues Approving same sex marriage: 22 of 77

"Should we approve of same sex marriage?" would be better stated as "Should we make legal same sex marriage?" There is no approve or disapprove of something that is happening anyway. No government can tell two people who love each other deeply and passionately that they cannot make a life long commitment to one another. Furt...

Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Why do people judge gays and lesbians: 11 of 36

People judge gays and lesbians because they are different. A lot of people are afraid of people that aren't just like them or didn't grow up like them and they believe that gives them cause to judge. Even the most close-minded person could meet an individual gay man/lesbian in public and view them as just a regular or "norma...
Arts & Humanities > Poets & Poetry What is poetry?: 20 of 64

Poetry is many different things to many different people and all those people would probably define it a different way. To me, poetry is a way to open one's heart and soul and pour out feelings and emotions that you may not be able to express otherwise. Poetry resides inside one's soul and lets the audience have a sneak peek...
Politics, News & Issues > Drug Laws & Prevention Should medical marijuana be legalized?: 6 of 18

Absolutely medical marijuana should be legalized. Put all thoughts about "Oh they just want it legalized so they can get high" out of your mind and look at it this way, we are talking about a plant. A natural substance that, without any alterations at all, can provide pain relief, stop the growth of or even shrink brain tumo...
Health & Fitness > Digestive Diseases Gallbladder removal and pain: 4 of 7

As a recent victim of gallbladder pain, I would like to share with you the symptoms and pain I experienced. When I was 15 years old, I had my first "attack" but the doctors told my mom it was indigestion and I would be fine. I remember laying on the floor, in the fetal position, crying because of the pain in my right side. I...
Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms Are some prayers left unanswered?: 11 of 13

Are some prayers left unanswered? I believe all prayers are answered whether that answer be a 'yes' or a 'no'. God knows what we need even before we ask for it. What about the fruitless ramblings throughout the day, "God let me win the lottery" "God please let me go out with him/her." "God please let my favorite sports team ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My painful past: 182 of 201

I have a wall that has been built deep inside of me. It comes from years of pain and grief, resulting from insecurity. So stone by stone the wall went up to guard my soul and heart. It helps my fears to settle and hide and keeps me from falling apart.
