I post this here because it doesn't belong in net.poems. I'm diabetic and hurting right now and needed to release the pain I have felt for a long time. I'm a poetic and writer at heart so it is my way of releasing the emontions pent up inside of me. This is no apology just a statement of fact. Memories These memories are sad Pain seems to stay more then happiness I remember hot water and hurt Cut fingers being sewed together Car colliding and time and teeth lost Pain of body and mind for all days Released now forever the cruelty of growing up Being laughed at and rediculed Being slapped and hit for fun. No friends, alone but not alone. Echos of the taunts follow me And now with the problems of living a full free life no more can I live as I did Sweetness is more emeny I have be hurt again by my body What good is life this way?

Hew, M.J., this isn't net.depression or net.group.therapy, this is the group for people who can find the humor in the following article (reprinted in full from the Providence Evening Bulletin - 1/28/83): SHE FALLS 20 STORIES, LIVES NEW YORK - A 22 year-old woman was listed in guarded condition today after plunging from the roof of a 20-story Coney Island apartment building, authorities said. Witnesses said [name deleted] jumped feet first from the building Tuesday afternoon, falling into a 4-foot-high hedge, bouncing up about one story and then falling back into a muddy lawn. The impact made a foot-deep indentation in the mud, police say. -------- Have a nice day, mike braca
