    We go through ridiculous quantities of milk in this house, a 4 pint Cravendale bottle a day! :eek:
    ...Linda xx
    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Can I get an opinion on a poem i did?

    Not All of Us Go Postal

    Discrimination.
    Condemnation.
    Stereotypical points of view
    Seem to rule the world.

    Whilst hate, fear and paranoia all become real.

    Big Brother’s watching us, but
    He’s likely to watch you too.

    Difference isn’t a fashion statement.
    It’s a state of mind.

    Legal not illegal, the pills I pollute
    My body with chain my soul.
    Unlike the cut wickedness snorted
    In toilets, or taken with no care.

    I’m as likely to go to A+E as you are,
    Just for different matters, but
    The care is never the same.

    It’s a blame game.

    Us.
    You.
    Myriad parties of dissent and despair,
    Fouling the world.
    And all because a schizo
    Blasted through the wall with a sword.
