no blabla, YOU are awesome! Keep smiling!
kapusta- thanks. it was exactly what i needed…
MP- If i can push a point i believe. If you’re not a social person, its more the reason to get out and try. I really think you should try to find a friend too, it can make a world of a difference to have someone IRL to talk to. I’m not social either- actually super shy. But i tried. I used to go to a weekly shiur, and force myself to stay for 5 minutes after, when everyone shmoozes. And i actually caught up with some former classmates like that. My high school class does a once a month get together, and its my only social event i look forward too, though only around 6 ppl show. or volunteer somewhere. whether regularly or on the odd occasion. but most imp would be to try and connect with someone and build a friendship. just one.
Okay that was rambling at its best :). i’ll stop now! hope todays easier in some small way…
blabla? NOMTW? how are you two?
why why why WHY?!?! :'( It’s a slap on the face, and if thats what u have to offer, then i’ll pass! I am tired of crying myself to sleep! Stop hurting me please????
ICOT that poem was AMAZING! I’ve never seen one of that style before and it blew my mind, and the message was really great!
MP- i must admit i didn’t realize that my simple greeting could carry so far. Just goes to teach me the power of my every word, and remind me to be more careful too! So glad to have you back though, and hope you have an amazing night and tomorrow

Don’t be so hard on yourself! ‘entitled’ to give support? How about you are able to and its a strength you were given. Even though none of us always practices what they preach, we can still say the right words, and know what we should be striving for. Until 3 years ago, I was a closed shell and NEVER opened to or wanted to ask anyone for help. And now i’m a completely different person, though i’m not sure I like how much I changed :). this thread is absolutely not only for poetry any more. Its just one way of expression for me, tho music is my first too. This thread is for venting, sharing, support, and of course poetry too.
I can only speak for myself, but apology accepted and unneccesary. Mitoch shelo lishma… I also felt like this thread gave me my only purpose in life, and you know what? I don;t think thats a bad thing. If you are feeling down, by focusing outside yourself and giving though in pain, that helps you overcome the low. At least in my opinion. The best thing when hurting is to go do chessed or give to someone else. So if I can speak up, come back, even while you are suffering. You can still help others, and we can try to help you too. Hoping things get brighter and soon!
bly- amazing how u can repaint ur morning like that, and amazing poem
nomtw- sorry for the copyright infringement :-/. Signed in to reply and reread ur post, and that just came pouring out of me…
Think first- belated happy bday and amen, and thanks.
Its been very quiet. How is everyone? PE, MP-its been a while. How are you doing? Busy with school just? Blabla- how are you doing? How is the person who was hospitalized doing? All the rest-hi!
who once was strong is now collapsed
who once was determined has now given up
who once was focused is now defeated
who once was warm is now cold
who once was bright has now gone dull
who once was a spark is now sizzling out
who once was energetic is now exhausted
who once was fighting has now become weary
who once was clear is now a mess
who once was sunny is now a stormy sky
who once had hope is giving up
who once had support is being left alone
who once had a smile is left with a frown
who once had a sparkle is full of tears

the sound of scratching ice, like pulling s/t out of a frosty freezer, or spoons or teeth on ices
the smell of leather disgusts me.

ha! Tell me the real answer and i’ll tell u if i was right.
i do have my idea…. but can’t know if i’m right!

bly- where were you a few months ago when i needed to hear that? 🙂
nomtw- a delayed reply, cuz i just realized i didn’t. That is awesome news!! for that, your family deserves…. more days of the same! I’m so glad for u! teach me????
all my siblings lost weight after marriage, some a nice amount too! Even after pregnancy, though some gained a few pounds back, they’re still much thinner than when single. One sister actually loses weight with every birth, lucky her!
kapusta- you said hi, and i pushed for something more :). Sorry for your frustration and hope it passes fast
think first- glad it was so nice! I love walking, even just in quiet neighbourhoods that have some treesand birds around! It’s my escape
blabla- that is so hard, and wishing a refuah shleima. Iy”H we should hear good news. Yes, it is soo difficult and challenging when someone close to you is suffering too. But if Hashem did this to you, it means He believes in you, even if you question yourself!! And if He brought you to it, He will bring you through it. If it seems to much any time, try to let go of the need to control and tell Hashem, it’s overwhelming me. And i am turning it over to You. Help me because its too heavy for me to carry alone. And mean it, and try to truly loosen your grip on things that are really out of your control. Let go of the map and daven for Hashem to guide you, because He knows the directions best.
bly- wow! No other words describe it. Just wow! That was amazing. Described the emotions, the back n forth, the knowing but not feeling, the ups and downs… You really captured the struggle in words. And it gives hope to hear that repeating the message inside does make a difference. And your words to blabla, so understanding, and so encouraging even while you admit to still struggling. Thank u for joining the poetry thread
hi! Doing well, and how are you???
why, blabla? What went on or caused that? What was the fighting about?
they include me! 🙂
Hello all! Hope you had a great Pesach and are getting back into everyday life easily!
blabla- how was the yomtov part of yomtov? was it enjoyable? How did it go?
NOMTW- how was your out of town experience? 😀
MP- how did it work out? Sorry again… Thinking abt you
kapusta, PE, shticky, theGoq, think first, and all the rest- How was?? How are you?
welcome too cool and bly! bly- i really like the puppet! so well written, message so true. too cool- the rhyme and flow of your piece is great! keep them coming!
blabla- sry for the slow reply. i wasnt posting on chol hamoed. but i was reading. Wanted to compliment you on your bris poem! read it after i went to a bris and really captured the moment…
As for the other one, I’m sorry you’re struggling with that. Been there, done that. and yet, as impossible as it seems, escapable! I wish i knew what or when it just clicked, but i dont. But keep fighting it! every cry and tefillah you send up, every regret you feel, every time you hold back for 1 minute, it all builds up your defense and makes you stronger against it. I feel for you, and know the pain of feeling like ur dirtying your neshama. But that’s what teshuva is all about- the special gift to erase like it was never ever there before… Thinking of you :(. Be strong! you can overcome!
seems i share some minhagim with BaalHabooze! we also dip our pinky, all the kids say Mah Nishtana from youngest up, including the married ones, and we greet Eliyahu hanavi with Boruch Habba. we also dip egg in salt water, either as a zecher l’kurban chagiga or as a siman aveilus for the bhm”k
mitzvahgirl613- some of us had an inkling 🙂
just wanted to send special greetings your way blabla: wishing you a chag kasher v’sameiach, an enjoyable, relaxed, happy, amazing pesach full of only easy, sunny days! Keep strong and keep smiling!
ohh maybe thats what happened! Last time i had a blood test i got a really painful nasty bruise abt 2*3 inches above my elbow. I have another blood test in a couple weeks. Any free advice, health?
i did understand, but if you think u need to know abt poetry…you don”t. Come check us out just once!
am i invited? Your invited to check out the poetry thread family
nonetheless, at least one father i know’s rav said no shalom zachor
nomtw- amein! And i hope you have an enjoyable, relaxing pesach!!
wondering the same zk. And why these posts are going up…
uhoh, do i know you?? 🙂
i actually think its an elementary school problem. In my high school you cld clearly see a difference between elementaries by spelling
if it will open her eyes, you definitely should. Some ppl will get defensive or upset though, just be prepared for that.
why does mistreating mean abusing??
if you can, why not? You can at least broach it once, bringing it to her attention. Or if there’s a sibling closer to her who can better speak to her?
blabla i’m so sorry. I hope that your week ends on a higher note than today. i’ll be thinking of you.
Pesach is a time of geulah, yeshuah and freedom. Seder night or pick a day of pesach, try to capture the inspiration. Focus on Dayeinu- from the lowest madreiga, Hashem did more and more chessed and brought us up so high. From complete devastation and hopelessness we were lifted. Believe in it. Dont let any negative thoughts in, not during that time. Deflect the taunts and sadness, drown out the whispers, say no, not now! for this little while, i’m going to try to only be positive. Act it, but dont tell yourself its an act. walk around with a smile, hum to yourself, and for that hour, night, day, ignore any sadness or negativity. And hopefully that little time will stretch further and your Pesach will be a bit more than it was.
as an aside that was the most amazing, powerful, flowing poem with such a positive twist that I can remember with my short term memory you writing! Recognizing the struggles, but that they’re only sometimes, and things are hard, discouraging, but not impossible, and the belief you will overcome.
you are an amazing person, and you will pass this too. I believe in you. wishing you an uplifting Pesach will more smiles than not! Be strong!!
how abt a small hebrew englis dictionary? You’d get answers quicker than waiting for posts to go through here.
sighhhhhhhhh, I miss my friend. I really needed that phone call last night, but alas…silence.
I SHOULD be studying, but I’m short on sleep and patience, so i’m here entertaining my unclear mind :).
Can’t wait for the school year to end. Whoever decided there can be finals on chol hamoed should try experiencing Pesach with guests and then he can have a say :P. I’m so gonna be stressed out majorly tonight and on, but I guess that’s whaat happens with Pesach, guests, finals, and a birth in the family coinciding! Can’t wait for summer vacation! (If i have one….)
How are you, MP? Hatzlocha to you and NOMTW on your finals, if they’re nowish. NOMTW how’s life? Pesach plans? Home?
PE, long time, no post 🙂
blabla- where are you? its been too long… No vacation yet?
kapusta- busy with pesach cleaning?? how are you doing?
goq, s2021, puppy- you are invited to post again!!
And in case you or I don’t come on after, wishing all an amazing, uplifting, reconnecting, inspiring, happy, enjoyable Pesach!
hope you slept well and woke up refreshed!
Shticky- a belated thank you for the compliment. Its a special, different way of expression for me… when it comes.
write or wrong- Welcome! and thumbs up on your song! 😀

sg- 😀 that was really great! I got
sg- 😀 that was really great! I gotta read that out at supper one night! Thanks for the pesach cheer
omein! Thank you. It is an ongoing battle of emotions, but we’re trying one minute at a time…
That was such a hard time
And a very hard task
And she bentched me for koach
Until it would pass
And Hashem gave me strength
When she walked through the door
And I davened for her
Like never before
With my tears freely streaming
Soaking tehillim and dress
My emotions so raw
Clear to all to impress
The difficult feelings
I was going through
As she walked down the aisle
To a life fresh and new
I poured out my soul
To our Father above
To remove my sadness
Make me only feel love
To rejoice in her simcha
With a full, complete heart
To dance and to show her
But was so overjoyed
And wishing her the best
With her chosson, her husband
In building their nest
I hoped she could see
My happiness inside
Behind the wet tears
That I could not hide
Her brocha to me
Touched me deep and hit hard
She knows just what I need
Where I have been scarred
And I cried as I pleaded
That her tefilla be heard
For a kallah so pure
Has koach in her word
And I hope that my thoughts
Could reach out to touch her
With the feelings they stir
If its a bad habit, it can be done consciously too. Having a jagged nail or hangnail-thats not painful or a chatzitza, etc- can be much harder for someone with the habit to avoid, knowing even they shouldn’t.
i dunno, this school load is getting to me. I need to pesach clean and am short on time! And my bf’s wedding is before pesach too!! Too much to do and wayyyyyyy too little time
