Just sayin'...

having a little fun scribble after all the heavy stuff

My marriage is over, kids are grown

seen death, addiction, abuse & affliction

no doubt, if not for poetry & Leonard Cohen,

                 I'd be effing bat shyte crazy

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

Fantastic...I smiled through tears as I read and related to your words, then the last line had me laugh so loud, I think I traumatised the neighbours.....Bravo Frieda............Dee.

Frieda this was just fantastic and I'm guessing will have meaning to many of us here on WC. Been there and seen it all my dear. I fund WC at the right tie in my life. Still quite misunderstood but I'm learning how to be me and if it wasn't for poetry and Frieda P I think I would have gone shyte crazy too....

The very bottom line under the picture bears so much meaning Frieda. No matter what darkness we are in there are always cracks...it just depends at the time how much light we wish to allow in. The mo the better I say.

Superb my dear friend.

Great tribute dear. Life is hard, and it just keeps getting harder, so we need something to get ourselves through it.

ok... ma'am... who says you aren't?.... (just saying...)... you know I couldn't resist... but hey! so am I, so welcome to the dark side..

love the playful tone of the raw, real, honest reality... can shake my head in agreement and say ditto.. writing is my outlet.. without it, who knows where I would be.. ((hugs)) girl..

Well said, and well done. I can only counter with some Neil Young. "Flying Mother Nature's silver seed..."

Beautiful. Leonard Cohen in one of my all time faves. I love his early days, the man was sexy as f...
Beautiful words, turned to beautiful songs. Music has pulled me out if the darkness on more than one occasion.

What exactly are you saying? LOL

I know music and the written word have gotten me through some very tough times.
