life help: I wrote this myself 10 years after my sister died… do you think i shoudl publish it? - Help.com

you have just published it

i have to say, thoes words cut deep. you should be proud of them. i know that you feel a lot when you read or think of them. if you think you want to put the words out there, well you have just taken the first step.
thank you for the chanse to read what is writen inside of you.

Gosh Im sorry. I sure your sister would understand every word. That was nice. Why don’t you visit her and read it.

i also wrote a similar poem when i was 11 yrs old (3 yrs after my granda died) i was approached by many publishers (threw school) and would nt let them publish my poem as i didnt think it was special enough everytime i read it ppl cry and say hw good it is to hear that sum1 so young still knows whats goin on as ppl think kids forget easily. i never published it and if i had the chnace i would print it in the sky for ppl to read nw!! if u have the chance to publish it now take everything u r offered!! it is amazing x

I have just published it! stealing on the internet FTW!! jkjk.
i think it would be best to leave it as a memento

but whatever, it was good, its just that i wouldn’t through something of that style of value into the rest of the world, but im nostalgic like that…

that was great u should post it on poetry.com

It would honor your sister. The style reminds me of W. B. Yeats. A very thought-provoking poem, indeed!

You could try to publish it yes, it was lovely, but rejection on something so peronal might hurt far more than just any poem, so I suggest you keep that one for your sister. Well done though!

It’s very moving. Maybe you should print it out with a photo of your sister and frame it. I know that was a difficult time for you. I lost my little sister two years ago.

She was 43 at the time. I’m 49 now. It was a sad time, but I think it would have been harder if were were both still very young.

That must have been awful.

You are right, the hurt never does go away, but it does get easier to deal with and you will always have those bad days, usually because something nice happens and it brings back memories. Most of the time you can smile when you think of a loved one and sometimes you just cry. It is the people left behind though that are sad, not the people who leave us, their agonies are over for them and they are at peace.

i love it, you should definately punish it.
three members of my best friend’s family passed away just recently, and she’s been very upset. me and my friends haven’t exactly been able to relate because we’ve never lost so many people so close. something like this would make her, and many other people out there just like her, very happy to learn they’re not the only ones.

U should deffinately post it. I have written my own poems about my own experience with my uncle I want to publish it but some people think its too depressing. Its not what I intended but I mean Its about my experience with his death how am I supposed to make that cheerful??
