Review of The Wall - My Survival , My Destruction

Review by designsbykris

Rated: 13+

| (5.0)

hello. Thank you for writing this. I too am a champion of depression, a misfit of mania(lol)... and also one who tries to make sense of the world of borderline personality disorder. I am thirty now and have been told I showed symptoms since infancy!

i believe your story shed light to those readers who do not know what it is like to experience what we go through, and also gave hope to those like me who fight the battle on a daily basis!

if you ever would like someone who understands to compare notes with.. I'd be glad to e-mail

thanks again for sharing!

great poem. I can relate-- I am a burner, similar to cutting... the scares still show.

you discribed this what people like me feel and deal with very well --and what could happen if we hit the wrong spot.(i don't want to die even if i think i do in the moment.) if u speak from experience, i hope you find a way to beat the emotional battle. take care..~kris~

Amen to that. I have borderline personality disorder. I know how hard it is to keep a healthy relationship. you worded it very well in this poem...with concrete yet subtle examples. The poem read well aloud.

I am glad you have found a way to have a good relationship. (not to mention someone some1 awesome enough to understand)

Review of A Creature of the Night

Review by designsbykris

Rated: E

brilliant! I am new to the site, but I know good poetry when i read it. I myself do not look for "SPAGs" not my forte :). So on my grounds, this poem was very "solid" Great form..theme carried well from beginning to end. Conclusion even stronger than intro. included very vivid imagery My favorite stanza was the eighth

"When I must quit the lovely dark,
I carry with me its perfume.
I wear the shadows like a cloak,
And seek those corners rich with gloom"

it reminds me how we can carry things that comfort us with us even things like light and dark until we can again indulge. Again great work!
