Question:
hey everyone,
i am 18 and jsut found out that i have H. right away,(before i found this site) i needed to find a way to cope and express my feelings and emotions without telling people. i do this through poerty. below is the first poem i wrote when i found out that i have H. please read it... it will make sense to some.

Existance

Does it?
Or a wish?
Upon a star,
A dream unknown.
Will it get better,
Before it gets worse,
Or fall apart in the midst of my hands?
Anxiety creating tears,
Tears to headache.
Tell nobody that it hurts.
It is a secret held deep.
Not to be discovered.
It will destroy.
High or deep,
Beyond the stars of beauty,
Beneath the fires of hell.
Hidden.
Hidden amongst the pain.
Pain causes hurt.
Hurt causes lonliness.
Lonliness that causes?
Take the last step with happiness.
That step will lead to the next,
And that step will bring the future.
Believe.
Believe in yourself,
Believe in the future,
Believe that it will mend.
Does it?
Or a wish?
It will get worse
Before it gets better,
Though not crumble in my hands.

Answer:
Poetry is a great way to vent and express yourself.

Answer:
I have only been diagnosed four months ago, but I am still having a really hard time dealing with things. Not many people know I have H, but seeing people on here have the same issues I do is really helpful. It seems we have all suffered the same deals, such as being told we had "bladder infections" and cheating boyfriends, but hearing you are all dealing with the issues is somewhat comforting knowing i am not dealing with it alone. You all seem soo supportive of each other on here, it's kinda nice.
Thanks!

Answer:
i felt teh same way. it is hard to cope, especially b/c i never thoughth that something like H would ever happen to me, and it is comforting knowing that there are people who understand and that u can talk to without being judged and critisized.

Answer:
Hi Betty4,
I wanted to say that I enjoyed your poem as well. If you truely wrote this right after finding out about your H, kudos for projecting a (seemingly) positive attitude right from the start. The poem seems to end more or less with acceptance, and I know personally it took me quite a while to get there. I should also say thank you to everyone on this board because you all played a big part in getting me there. :)

Answer:
I wrote this poem right after i found out i had H. this poem is special to me because it involves my pain, tears, regrets, anger, love, strength... and much more all together.
