The Wish
By: Sarah on 10/21/2001; 3:26 PM

Oh how I wish I had the gift of word,
To tell thee of my sickness that slices through me like a sword.

To be able to tell of the blackness thriving within,
the darkness lying under fair hair and skin.

To pick out some good words to tell to the bright sun,
to know how to tell thee of this thing called Depression.

Honey, you got your wish. If I've ever seen something I could tell a depressed person to be happy about, it is that you are a REALLY GREAT WRITER! I'm sensing you're very young, which means you're in a position to really hone your craft, and become one of the true greats. Now you have a mission. Now you have something to live for. Now, there is no one who can stand in your way. How lucky for you!

Now go forth, and live the dream. Let your feet touch this earth only as a respite to the constant soaring of your soul. Share with all of us the grim or wonderful possibilities you magically pour onto the page, and make us humble in our unsuspecting ineloquence.

Says ME, THAT's WHO!

I love new authors! Don't you all love new authors? I love them.

Sarah, you should read the formatting instructions for instructions on how to format things like poetry, so your carriage returns look right.

I'm going to add something to the posting form about it.

I'll get you published posthaste. As I always ask, how did you find us? And, welcome to Unreason!

Sarah! Great writing! And, yes, as Mark has so emphatically stated, WE LOVE NEW AUTHORS! And, judging by these first few pieces of yours, we are going to love you. You have a wonderful ability to express your thoughts and emotions: never forget that, and please do not ignore it. I LOVE your writing!

Don't worry about being self conscious about your writing. Just please go ahead and post it, especially since so far your work seems to be very good. I think many people think their works are worse than they actually are. Don't worry if YOU don't think the work is very good, odds are other people will.

Sarah--

Apologies for that. I edited it to include carriage returns, so it showed up in the discussion group. All edited items currently show up in that day's messages.

I should have written you first and asked. Sorry.

While I'm still dinking around with it, a new feature should eliminate these sorts of issues.

The discussion group is getting a major makeover. You're going to love the results if, like me, you're frustrated trying to keep the comments and the published works apart.
