Thank you for trying. I do appreciate it.

It was fantasy I believe. I got the original book from the sci-fi/fantasy book club, but had donated it to the local library shortly after my high school graduation as I was going to be moving.

Twitch…I hope you don’t mind me calling you that…I hope things are going better with you in general and with your boyfriend too. If not, concerning the boyfriend…I think that there may be some issues that you should talk about if you really want to keep him as your boyfriend without going insane.

1. The whole shirt thing- it should b>not /b> have gone that far. So what you accidentally took home one of his shirts? It’s a SIMPLE fix, you find it, launder it, put it in a box/big padded envelope and send it out. It should have been an “oops, *giggles* guess I wasn’t paying attention when I was packing, get it in the mail tomorrow.”
2. The phone issue- since it doesn’t look like he’s accepting your calls it will be hard to work that out. It seems odd though that he would endanger his own credit line to get back at you, or in general be petty. Maybe he needs a helping hand on the bills and doesn’t know how to ask? On the other hand, if he’s doing it to be spiteful…do you really want to be with a man like that?

Concerning you…I hope things are going well. I also suffer from depression. I am on Effexor XR. Sometimes you need some meds for it…but remember all the meds in the world won’t do you a shred of good if you aren’t pulling yourself up at the same time. A visualization, if I may, you have been taken down about 50 feet in the ocean…the ocean in this visualization is depression…you are given an air tank…these represent the medications you get, the moral support from friends and family, etc.. Now this is all well and good, you can hang around there for a period of time…but remember…all air tanks have limits. Friends and family will move away, medications may lose effectiveness. This is accepted fact. You have to take it in your own hands to strike out for the surface. Counseling, learning techniques for coping with depression, learning your signs so that before you go under that water you are sure you aren’t going to drown.

I’m sorry if this is all the same old same old stuff. I don’t mean to preach, I just hope that I can be of some assistance.

I think I would like to know what sort of an instrumental/vocals it would go with. It’s all well and good to have a nice lyric, but without the music behind it it can be hard to give an actual judgment of a “song.”

That having been said, I think that the poem definitely has promise. I’m a bit picky on my poetry, so please accept the fact that I say it has promise as a nod of encouragement, not a rebuke.

I am afraid I have to agree with littlenick as well…
Wanting something is one thing, trying to juggle two things will only make you lose both.

Well, having gone through a long distance relationship myself, it’s just one of those things I think. Just try to do the whole thing about reminding yourself that good night tonight isn’t good night for forever. Besides, you can’t say good morning without saying good night. ;-) That and as they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder, everybody needs space. Not that I’m trying to imply that you are smothering at all. I’m just saying, try to take a step back and take some deep breaths about the whole thing when you feel that whole depression thing coming on.
