It's 2 am and I'm literally crying, thinking about how did I lose that part of me who was a writer, a writer who writes what she feels instead of thinking if the grammar is right or wrong, a writer who writes to express herself instead of to reach her monthly target. Thank you, Cecilia, thank you.

I can relate to your comment. I got away from my creativity years ago, though, I'm finding my way back home now. It's been a lovely journey. God bless you on yours my friend! :)

Cecelia is beautiful. Poet, writer, and spoken word artist who creates melody in her prose. Cecelia evocatively recounts her life experiences and in particular, her loss of a brother to suicide. But it’s not without tinges of sadness. Thank you for your gift of words, Cecelia.

I sit here thinking about the suicide in my family and the last lines she spoke about her brother hit so hard. It is something you carry and perhaps writing has made my load a little lighter but no less important. There will never be words for it

Saw a brief extract of Cecilia in a BBC documentary about performance poetry. Have always loved poetry and wrote it for years when I was a teacher and used it with children. Cecilia has a much calmer style of performance than many young poets. Really fascinating and interesting to listen. I imagine she will be an inspiration to many. I hope so.

When my brother committed suicide I wrote and hid, wrote and hid for 3 years. I couldn't not write, I was terrified not to. Something inside died, but the pain didn't. 45 years now, and it's still gnaws at me. Thanks for sharing, even this much.
