1994, What I Wanted

Strange, Tiffany, that particular year was the same for me. Had the Xanax and would have gladly paid someone to shoot me. Good that we are both still here. Nicely done.

Thanks MaryAnne! I was a little nervous posting it...

And I am glad we're still here as well. :-)

This is very powerful--in so few words--it really hit me--wow *

Strong stuff here, well done!

Very simple and to the point in so few words. Nice.

Thanks, Bobbie. Sometimes the a little bit goes a long way. @Susans- thanks for reading. You guys have a special way with words. I'm just learning. :-)

Powerful. So much accomplished in a few words. The line breaks are great.*

Well done. I missed this somehow. Tight, tight writing.*

Thank you John! It took me a little bit to get how important line breaks are to a poem.

JP- thanks for reading. I've also read yours and was amazed with its succinct capture of a volatile period. Thank you very much.

"You can't always get what you want," sang The Stones. Thank goodness you didn't get what you wanted in 1994! If we can just hang on, what we think we want can change.

Important poem. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Bill! I'm glad I didn't get what I wanted either. The pain, while long lasting, was temporary. I just didn't know that in 1994. :-)
