Persie, I wish you much peace and strength. And welcome!!

myself - thank you for posting your poem. I have tried very hard over the last few months to drop the attitude of "why me" and use what I have been through to be stronger and better and to try and help others. It is not easy leaving the past alone but without it I would not be 'me'.

Well said. I know I had to let go of the past in order to move into the future. Even my friends who haven't experienced the depression and anxiety I have are full of "what-ifs". Why do we torture ourselves?
Persie, you have survived a prolonged battle against formidable odds. That's an accomplishment, you know. No life is in vain. You are important.
