...and even more from Vivienne

Life is a thing to be experienced
or is it?
A meaningless existence known to me
or is it?
A thing of beauty to be cherished
or is it?
A thing not worth living tomorrow for
or is it?
A thing that you take as each day appears.

--Vivienne Loomis

It takes tolerance
Not to give in to death
To resist the temptation
How easy just to die.

WONDERFUL

Do you mind if I befriend you? I had never read that poem, it has really touched me. What a discovering, this Vivienne.

Of course!
I did an internet search on her the other day, cause like I said in an earlier post, I read her journal/book back in high school. I didn't get to look up all of the links I found (had to go to work. Drudgery!)
Where I copied all of her poems, in my own journals, I wrote a paragraph or two at the end about how that particular one affected me. I was 14 when I discovered the book, and I couldn't believe someone else had ever felt the same as I did. No teen realizes that I think. I wish I could scream it to the world, to everyone else that aches inside. i guess that is kind of what I am doing now, by posting all of Vivienne's poems. There's a few more i want to post, but i figure I should space them out a little. I've gotten so many replies for each of them though, I LOVE that! BTW, I'm Jen. ;0)

God. That's AMAZING.

I feel I can relate, I'm 14 too. I'd love to read that book.

I'll post the rest of them later...wanted to do it today, but it didn't FEEL right. HHHmmmm...
