In Response to my Poem

Yesterday I posted the poem I wrote "When I Feel Like a Failure". In response to comments and things people have said to me, I would like to give this explanation to why I posted it.

There have been many times in my life I have felt like a failure, that I have felt like everything was falling down around me, and I couldn't succeed. This poem explains what I wished I could have on days like that, something that I hadn't gotten before. I wrote it almost two years ago.

Saturday, the 28th of February, I had someone do exactly what I asked for in the poem. I was having a rough night, and my boyfriend, Chris, pulled me in his arms, told me I wasn't a failure, his eyes told me that he cared, and then he simply held me, listening to me, and caring until I felt somewhat better.

Later on into the night I realized that it fit very well with this poem. I pulled it up to realize it fit almost perfectly. One more step on the path to my search for joy has been taken. I know I am not a failure, and when I feel like it, I have someone who will help me to feel otherwise.
