    blabla

    You write that you have no dignity,

    You claim not to have much ability

    No strength nor opinion of your own

    But that’s not what your words have shown!

    Your gratitude shows tremendous class

    Of an extremely appreciative gentle lass

    You say you’re on the incline headed to the top

    Keep fighting, keep going, don’t ever stop!

    #1167312

    Dear Am Yisrael Chai,

    There’s one thing I can’t deny

    You’re blessed with a heart of gold

    Warming hearts that have gone cold.

    Lucky are your friends

    Upon you they can depend

    May you be zoche to always give

    For as long as you live!

    On Your Yahrtzeit

    I miss you so much

    Your spiritual touch

    Your laughing spells

    My heart just kvells

    Your love of peace

    And feeding the geese

    You loved walking in the rain

    And using your sharp brain

    You loved Hashem

    Your biggest gem

    Kodesh and chol

    Knowledge a goal

    That glint in your eye

    Your apple pie

    Your word game skill

    Your chicken soup with dill

    You’d laugh at yourself

    Couldn’t help it myself

    Wish you could have stuck around

    Instead of being underground.

    AYC: What a moving letter. Sorry, I have no experience with this (baruch Hashem), and I can’t really offer my advice to you. I just want to say that I had you in mind on Rosh Hashana, and hope and pray that moshiach should come and we should be zoche to see techias hameisim.

    Maybe you can write her a letter. Just write it all out. It helps me a lot when I have a lot on my mind and I can’t say anything to that person. (When you’re done, post it on the ‘Unsent Letters’ thread;))

    May Hashem grant you the kochos to overcome this challenge and continue being a source of chizuk to others in here.

    Hatzlacha rabba.

    What a beautiful thing to say and do!

    I am so impressed with you

    To have me in mind on such a Holy Day

    When you went to shul in order to pray

    That I’ve been a chizuk means so much to me

    Though we’re both cloaked in anonymity

    The poem is based on my Missing a Loved One thread

    Let me know after that thread you’ve read

    I stare straight ahead,

    the candle stands by,

    the fire flickers gently,

    tears fall, I start to cry.

    I miss you dearly,

    your spark has vanished,

    your existence missed,

    unofficially banished.

    You were once our light,

    the glow in the dark,

    you remain close to our hearts,

    you’ll forever leave your mark.

    Although you were sick,

    with that hopeless cure-less illness,

    we knew you were a fighter,

    helplessly sat in stillness.

    The pain is so raw,

    disbelief in our hearts,

    I couldn’t be over so fast,

    we’ve watched you weaken in parts.

    Yes, I miss you very dearly. May you be zoche to have a highest place in shomayim, especially after all that you went through. We will miss you forever.

    AYC: I did read that thread. Which is why I had you in mind. Sorry, I didn’t respond, it’s just that I feel weird giving you chizuk in an area I’ve no ‘experience’ with.

    blabla: Whoa. That’s awesome! Did you write it to someone you miss, or to AYC? Either way, it’s beautiful. I love the rhyming!

    So sorry for your family’s loss

    Who was recalled by our dear Boss

    May she be a melitza yosher for all

    And may we hear Moshiach’s shofar call!

    #1167329

    Hey, it’s amazing how much you can go on in such a short amount of time!

    AYC, i’m truly sorry for your loss and the accompanying pain. You’re poem is so beautifully sad! It expresses your feelings (!) so poignantly, that the reader feels it too. How many years has it been? You express it clearly in the other thread you began too. Observanteen – the unsent letters thread was a great thread, let it come back to use! And i hope you all kept all of us in mind on rosh hashana, it felt quite weird actually praying for anonymous online friends, esp. considering it’s online…!!!

    Blabla – you’re poem is really special. It hurts so much to read!!!! There’s so much pain!!!!!!!!!!!

    #1167331

    Mods, can you please delete my latest post (with the poem)? I remembered that I had sent it to some people at that time and I don’t want anyone to figure out who I am based on this.

    Thank you in advance!

    #1167332

    Climbing mountains – it’s a really special poem. I’m glad i saw it (if you are too) before mods could delete it! Go to the # symbol where it says “posted 53 minutes ago” to and copy the link, mods than can delete it, Mod 80 did that for me once.

    Climbing Mountains: Your poem is truly a masterpiece. Glad I read it before the mods delete it:)

    Princess: Yeah, I liked that thread too. Maybe I’ll post some letters later tonight. And it definitely IS weird davening for people you’ve never met! I had you and all of klal yisroel in mind. Hope you did too!

    #1167336

    Climbing mountains, i’m really glad for you that the post was deleted! i think that when you copy the link it makes it easier for a mod to delete it – i presume when they follow the link or something they can just press delete.? And i’m even gladder (if i can say that!) that some of us managed to read it first!!!!!

    Observanteen, that would be great!

    Praying for anon friends is weird and the paradox of it being online friends was , well , a paradox. Yes, i did keep you in mind individually too 😉

    AYC, thanks! You’re warm words are appreciated, really!!

    a broken heart,

    cracked along the middle,

    torn on the inside,

    scratched on its border,

    bashed on the surface,

    a battered soul,

    in pieces it remains,

    bleeding,

    weeping,

    sobbing in pain,

    yearning for a kind person,

    to hug it,

    to love it,

    to care,

    to give it warmth,

    encouragement,

    hope,

    life,

    yes, it wants life,

    its cold and and wet,

    in a dark rainy world,

    it wants warmth and comfort.

    A heart of gold,

    giving and warm,

    generous and wide,

    can calm a raging storm.

    listening and sweet,

    a glow in the dark,

    a reason to live,

    a life, a spark.

    My brain remains still,

    My mind is stubborn,

    My mouth gets stuck,

    The anxiety sticks,

    NOTHING works.

    And I now learned

    that force

    no longer works,

    for change

    is what we strive for.

    “a heart of gold” is to all of YOU! You are incredible!

    A little voice,

    deep within me,

    speak,

    yells,

    screams,

    it wants to be heard,

    has an argument,

    for my rational self.

    It tells me i’m fat,

    ugly,

    OBESE,

    I ate too much.

    My rational self yells,

    and attempts to argue,

    it says the scale doesn’t lie,

    but for some reason,

    my ED screams back,

    doesn’t remain silent,

    must win the war,

    it says the number’s too high.

    I peer at myself,

    deep into the mirror,

    my gaze falls on my stomach,

    popping,

    sticking out,

    ginormous!

    It must flatten

    I hear ED.

    he tells me I’m hopeless,

    pointless,

    and big fat PIG

    and I can’t help it,

    so I believe him

    #1167349

    Blabla, i really feel for you and understand the inner war. I wish it would just be EASIER to fight those raging emotions but until than you just have to fight it anyway, you are stronger than it and have to fight it.

    Perhaps the only way is to speak very firmly to yourself and instead of rationalising with the emotions or trying to fight them or feeling how difficult it really is or surrendering or saying “i just can’t help it!” – perhaps can you just speak firmly and IGNORE those voices, they aren’t allowed to speak to you, you have to “just do it” – right!!!!! It ain’t a choice!!!!! Don’t listen to those voices who are out just to hurt you. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! BELIEVE IT!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I feel the intensity of the struggle but you can do it. I pray to G-d to make it easier and just end the pain. Thoughts are with you!!

    Here’s the lyrics for a song I wrote with my band back in high school about Yom Kippur. It’s called “Judgement Day”. Maybe I’ll put up the song on my music page sometime 🙂

    Year after year, through toil and strife

    My deeds are weighed, it’s a circle of life

    Fear imbues my mind as the day comes near

    What will be with me? I cannot bear

    Who will live, and who will die

    Who will laugh and who will cry

    All my sins I throw away

    I’m changing my ways, it’s Judgement Day

    To whiten the black, to cure the disease

    Asking forgiveness, down on my knees

    My body trembles, I’m numb from fear

    Sound of repentance pounds in my ear

    Who will live, and who will die

    Who will laugh and who will cry

    All my sins I throw away

    I’m changing my ways, it’s Judgement Day

    Walking on the street

    Looking carefree and neat

    No one is aware

    Whats really there

    Beneath the makeup and shaitel freshly done

    Lays a mother of a critically ill son

    Its all a facade,one big show

    And no one knows

    Nor can they see

    The searing pain within me

    So next time we meet

    On the street

    Understand there is more that meets the eye

    And how I look is just a lie

    laugh with me:

    Whoa! What pain you clearly express

    Lurking behind the perfect dress

    Your son is given the best of care

    Despite your perfectly coiffed hair

    It’s a show of strength

    That you go to great length

    To take care of yourself so much

    It’s not at all a facade as such

    So cut yourself some slack

    We’ll all try to have your back

    If you’d like his name to say

    So we could use it when we pray

    Refuah shlaima

    #1167361

    ayc-thanks alot for your warm words.

    Down in the dumps

    life has to many bumps

    pain

    anguish

    heartache

    as I watch my son lay so still

    in his hospital crib looking so ill

    annoyance

    frustration

    desperation

    when will this all end

    a refuah shleima please do send

    tear

    sobs

    screams

    how much more

    can I endure

    questions

    doubts

    worries

    but one thing keeps me sane

    faith

    trust

    belief

    for he is my father my tatteh in the sky

    and to him I can cry

    abolish

    obliterate

    destroy

    this huge test

    and allow me to live a life of rest.

    laugh with me-YW

    Pray your heart out

    Silently or shout

    To Hashem above

    Who’s brimming with love

    Your son’s so small

    And cannot crawl

    But he hopes to one day

    If he has his way

    Hashem has His own unique timetable

    When your baby’s health will become more stable

    In the meantime, the words of Tehillim are healing

    Say whatever you can with all the emotion you’re feeling

    laugh with me: Wow. How sad and beautifully written. May your son have a refuah shleima b’karov.

    I needed a break from erev yom tov cooking, so I wrote this poem.

    I mean…

    When I say,

    “I don’t care!”

    I really want to say,

    “It’s too much to bear.”

    When I say,

    “Sure, anytime!”

    I really want to say,

    “Please decline!”

    When I say,

    “I feel like a nuissance!”

    I really want to say,

    “I need some reassurance.”

    When I say,

    “I’m so MAD!”

    I really want to say,

    “My day’s been bad.”

    When I say,

    “Just go away!”

    I really want to say,

    “Please stay!”

    Sometimes, the truth’s too bold,

    Sometimes, the truth can’t be told.

    Sometimes, I can’t speak my mind…

    But can you please be so kind?

    Read the lines I really want to say

    And hear my words, the opposite way!
