  I work at an Activity Co-Operative for people with mental illness.

  This is a poem I was typing for the monthly newsletter. It touched me, probably some of you can relate to it as I did.

  Walkin' Tall

  Here I am again walkin' tall, with my head held high

  I don?t know how long I can walk like this

  It?s really starting to hurt me

  I gotta have a break or it?ll kill me.

  Walkin' so tall I can almost touch the sky

  It?s so lonely up here by myself

  I need some help with all this pain

  Can?t I sit down for a little while?

  Why do I have to walk tall, when no one else does?

  Why can?t I blame others, like some do?

  It?s really hard to walk tall sometimes,

  But I still do it and I always will count on it.

  Walkin' Tall!!!!!

  Thanks, Brummie! It's just volunteer right now, but would be nice if it eventually works into more.

  Talesin,

  Tell Kerry that s/he did a great job. I like the questions asked in the poem. It's sad that the answers are not always obvious. I guess we all have to find our own answers. I wish him/her much success on their journey.

  You never know! My own stuff is pretty dark, it just seems to flood out sometimes. You're an articulate person, I bet you could write some amazing poetry. All it takes is turning the switch to 'on'.

  Hey Robyn!

  I'll tell her. She'll really appreciate it. Nice to see ya.
