    Hello @Globster

    I've moved this thread to our coffee lounge and slightly changed the title so more people can see your amazing work  B)

    That's a very moving poem and I'm so pleased to read that the people at Mind helped you through a difficult time.  Using personal experiences as the driving force for creativity can produce fab results, as you definitely show!

    Good luck with the competition.  We are rooting for you.
