I'm not exactly in these shoes as it isn't a diary or journal, but very close.  I feel a bit dirty and guilty.  I read only what I had to and will not read the rest although I have to keep it.  The worst part is telling someone else they had better not read any more than they already have as they will be deeply concerned even though no one is in any harm.\n\nMy question is one of scruples.  What if it was something I considered disturbing?  Should I tell?  I shouldn't even be reading it.  Thank goodness I'm not in those shoes, but it is interesting to ponder nevertheless.\n\nWhat would you do?

If no one is in harm or going to be harmed, I would let it go. You don't need to do anything. That was their private thoughts that you didn't belong reading in the first place.

Intriguing! Did you write this yourself? It's as if you took the works of Ayn Rand, Stephen King, and Roald Dahl then mixed them all together. \n As for a mottled mattress......Yuck! There are some mysteries better left alone. (for instance, what's really in grandma's casserole) ;)

I read it and found the writing style difficult to get through. I was also outraged by the double standard.  Even if she had named her lover, she would still have had a harsher punishment than the man. I thought it was an interesting insight into the way people thought and believed in that time, and a warning for modern times not to think in such a backward way.\n\nI thought it was spooky the way her lover ended up with a Scarlet Letter embedded in his flesh, hidden away under his clothes. Was it his own guilt that caused it to appear? Was it some trick or poison the doctor gave him? Was it God's punishment?  The book doesn't make that clear, making the reader decide for him- or herself.

I am deeply hurt and feel terribly sorry for the state of affairs going on.\nI honestly dont know, what I would have done,if I were in that situation.I dont want to presume/assume.\nWhat is reality is different from presumption.\nBut one thing is true.This phase will definetly passes thro,someone somewhere will  rise to the occasion and things will change.\nTOUGH TIME DOESNT LOST, ONLY TOUGH PEOPLE.

holy crap this is strong!\nlast line is the best. \nclearly you are writing with FEELING and I love that.\ntitle it and send it in some time to a contest.\n\nI simply feel the power in this thing!\nit had me look away in sorrow because i know someone that was bullied to death. IF it helps, you need to talk about you feelings. get help. It doesnt have to be face to face, maybe talk to someone on the phone or by email. But yeah.\n\nI also think that you could have ended at the line " I swear I saw blood" and that the other stuff could be a poem all by itself. OR you could have two separate poems that are meant to be read together like " poem1 and poem2".\n\nthis is amazing.Just write with feeling.See, doenst writing with feeling feel better?

Feeling kind of down, actually.  My High Priest committed suicide just before Yule.  Now I have no one with whom to do rituals, and may not do any.  If I had some wine, I'd probably get drunk, but I don't feel up to going out to buy any.  \n\nSelf-pity is destructive.  I think I'll do a purification ritual after the sun goes down tonight.

According to the Yahoo blog, this has happened. Some bad person just reported it & they had to delete it for the time being. They are working on ways to stop it and have apologised to those it has happened to. I think this has become a little more popular than they thought. Anyway, \nstay patient & if you didn't do anything wrong do not let someone else's narrow opinion upset you!

It is completely natural to think things like this. I am more concerned with why it bothers you so much. And if you are so afraid about acting out your thought, have you had any other thoughts that you have acted out and regretted? If so you need help from someone other than YAHOO.

think your still hurt about what happened and are reading too much into what she says, maybe she didnt mean to say anything like that, best thing is to try your best not to think about it.

I guess so. I think its really messed up for anyone to write a book on how they would murder someone. especially when people think he did. that just affirms it to me. now I'm like, OK hes so messed up in the head that IF he didn't kill his wife hes not sad or remorse full to the point where ever writing about the act of killing would be considered. so yeah to me the fact that he had the audacity to write a book about murdering someone he SUPPOSEDLY didn't murder. i feel like hes saying "look you idiots I did kill her and because of my money I got away with it. don't you feel safe knowing that murderers like me are free"

A real eye opener that chills you right to the bone. A harsh reminder why those sickos need to be stopped.\nIF this poem is regarding your own life then please seek help. Don't be afraid to tell someone, a teacher, a doctor, even a trusted aunt or other relative. They WILL take you seriously and something WILL be done. Telling someone and making it stop is surely better than continuing life as you are now.

I see this poem as a heart felt poem with a lot of deep sorrow, If this is your life experience I am very sorry that this has happened to you.\nLoosing a child can be very painful, which I'm sure it would be for you if this is what happened, for you but I would also like to say to you that the true and Almighty God is aware of and feeling your pain in compassion and that is also the reason for his promise, many people who have gone or are going through a similar experience, and asking why?This promise I just spoke of is found in Revelation Ch21:verse4)and it is a very heartwarming one where God promises to wipe away every tear from mankind's eyes, and that he will actually swallow up death, mourning and sorrow,and pain will be no more.The dead will be resurrected to life again becoming conscious again, is this not a wonder full promise from a very loving God, who cares very deeply for us, and our pains even past experiences will have gone from our minds, and the ones that caused those pains will be punished, so any who have perpetrated pain to others, will be dealt with justly

For not knowing the plot or what part of the story you've given us, I'm rather impressed and sad to be given such a small portion.  I hesitate to say "good for 15" because there are published writers three times your age that don't write as well, but you have very solid potential.  I would second what bunnicula said about not posting more until you have it copyrighted, but keep us updated--I look very forward to purchasing it one day. (And I'm jealous of your close friends who will be able to read the rest before then)
