Always the Next Step
Doggerel Dave said:

You\'ve had trouble with your mindsets in the past I think I recall. But this one feels OK; you seem very conscious of where you are going and how you might modify your attitude to climbing.
Just be not too hard on yourself, but above all, be safe.
Good luck and best wishes.

Mountains and Myself
L. B. Mek said:

wonderfully descriptive imagery
I get the sense you\'re not only
showcasing your passion
but also, trying to light
a small trigger of interest
so that others may benefit
from this sporting culture, mentality
of challenging yourself
to be more, than you - yourself
think
you can be..
a very powerful message, thanks for sharing
(sounds like a good activity
while overcoming a breakup..) lol

Worth It
L. B. Mek said:

\'You might leave, we might work it out, ways it could go, there are two\'..
or maybe, you can find a way
to a third solution
where friendship is no pipe dream
and all your investments
in that relationship, aren\'t simply wasted..
(hope it works out
if not
hope can end it, on a good note)
not all breakups have to be the end of a relationship

The Canyon
L. B. Mek said:

what a hauntingly bleak depiction
yet, in being so
its a tangible thread to survival
for those lost in that self-betraying cycle
of all-things, assumed
as being nihilistically
barren of hope, and scraped-raw suffering...
(glad you\'re still doing ok
thanks for choosing to share
and letting others know, they\'re not alone)

Not Again
L. B. Mek said:

\'I bullied the other person for a month and attempted suicide twice.\'
I wonder if you truly grasp
just how worryingly/alarmingly Alien this line reads?
I strongly second Doggerel Dave\'s considered and insightful advise.
still, I shall thank and commend you for bravely choosing to share
your unfiltered view of the world!
(please forgive me if you find my comment in any way
rude or derogatory, and feel free to delete it if you do
but try to understand this was never my intention
sadly, I must have lacked the ability to convey my sincerity)
...
\'Don’t fall into self destruction like I did last time, be strong
Forget bottles exist and don’t reach for the bong\'
-
\'This time, I am staying in the cage, I’m not lashing out
It’s like I have someone who finally made me understand what love is about\'..
this set of lines do convey
an important and uplifting message!
but remember, when we choose - another
as the solution to our problems, we risk
their absence: throwing us into that deep-end
of our suffering\'s cycle...
so it\'s important, however painstakingly - hard
to try
and nurture our own independent solution
so that one day, it will be us
that plays the role of \'Anchoring, Pillar\'
in all the relationships, we help nourish
with our very presence;
than poison, with the baggage: we bring along...
good luck, dear Poet
\'fight the good fight
till the very end! my friend\'
or in the more eloquent words of a true poet:
\'Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.\'

Not Again
Doggerel Dave said:

Well done.
Perhaps this is the start of a whole new life. However, and only you can judge this, one only instance does not mean all is resolved; maybe it is, but I would think that if your old behaviours reappear you should seek professional help if available to you. This could perhaps include general counselling to try to work out where those negative responses come from and if possible an anger management course.

What\'s Best For Her, But I Still Want More
L. B. Mek said:

a great read of worded legitimacy to the sincerity of unrequited love, if it be born of natural attraction and wholesome appreciation, there is a directness in your wording - showcasing bravery in your unflinching transparency..
personally, I have experienced all three sides of that \'unrequited\' coin,
have had friendship evolve into more, albeit frustratingly - gradually..
have had to accept that my feelings would never be reciprocated and force myself to move away from the person I had feelings for - because being so close and yet so far, was effecting the rest of my life negatively..
and lastly I have managed to get over my feelings - eventually, while sustaining a friendship with the person I once had feelings for..
I think Doggerel Dave\'s comment/advice is spot on: it is indeed a \'hard luck\' or frustrating situation but not uncommon and you can definitely change your social circles and if possible, maintain that friendship while continuing your search for a significant other..
thanks for sharing and good luck
\'hope for the best
but be prepared, to accept
the dice of fate
wherever, it may rest\'

Sometimes good friends are just that, good friends, and they are so important in our lives.

What\'s Best For Her, But I Still Want More
Doggerel Dave said:

Lust unrequited is something everyone experiences sometime or other - hard luck!
So if you can\'t resolve this through talking it through - which will probably result in the realisation that you should move on, then move on anyway. BTW your social circle ideally can consist of both good friends and lovers.
All this must not lead to the assumption that I did not enjoy your poem - I did!

Neutral In No Man\'s Land
Doggerel Dave said:

I\'d say you had some serious anger management issues. Seems you are behaving to your mate in same way as you did the first time round.
Unless this is all BS for the sake of a write, I would suggest you take a good look at yourself and start to be responsible for your own behavior.
Some apologies and open ended discussions, perhaps also.....

You Will Be Horrified When You See

Wow... Don\'t I know this side! If that is not you then again! Wow for it had me breathless thinking for the man I once was! Darkness is inside us all...

Thank you for sharing

A Demon by the Hand Take an Angel
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

BRIAN HERE ~ Good Friday Friend ! Thanks for sharing an elegantly Penned and thought provoking *Ode to a ANGEL* ! In my mind (as a generalisation ?) it describes the Scenario ~ every time a *MAN* meets a Real Lady ! The GOOD BOOK says that *When GOD looked at ADAM he saw His needs and created EVE - different in Form & Function - someone who would make ADAM complete *It is not GOOD for MAN to dwell alone !* Because there is a *Bit of Demon* in all Men* God created EVE as an ANGEL to compensate. I met Angela four years ago and She shone just like an ANGEL ! When she was born in 1988 her Parents were ambivalent about her name. When Her Father (who is Spanish) looked at Her - He said *Ella es un Angela* *She is an Angel* and her Mother (who is English) said *We will call Her *Angela Maria de la Plata* ~ AMEN. Fortunately when I asked Her to Marry Me She saw me as *Un Angelo* not as *Un Diablito* ! Also I was sufficiently Spanish (Language & a Guitarist) for Don Pedro de la Plata to say *Si Si* when We requested His pemission to become Engaged. Im 37 and we have been married six Months. So a *Demon* can marry an *Angel* and they can live *Happilly ever after !*

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey Cat ! ! !

Me or the Meds?
orchidee said:

I\'m not against medicines, though some may say here: \'You don\'t need all that rubbish, or that muck!\'
Wouldn\'t you become dependent on the drugs, if you keep having them?

Stabbed In The Back
benevolentbluebabe said:

Another splendid write. In a similar vein as the last; the short stanzas and snappy rhymes bring to life the pain inside...in reading this, as with the last, the raw emotion contained within struck a chord...I hope you find the closure you need.

Shame, Guilt, Hate

A Book By its Cover
dusk arising said:

A very long winded way of saying what the title leads us to expect.

Well established wisdom repeated here. Will it be taken on board by readers who are new to the message contained. I hope so. Our world today seems so superficially judgemental.

This caring poem would surely affect a friend to \"get up and have a good go\" - a very engaging and well-crafted read.

What\'s It Like?
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD AFTERNOON FRIEND ~ BRIAN (UK) HERE ~ Thanks for sharing your fantasy poem ~ based on the reminicsences of an American Soldier posted overseas to fight the very elusive Enemy in the GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR ! From the perspective of the British Military (Im 35 and live in a Garrison Town ~ from whom I hear many reports) you have painted an accurate piicture. Our Troops are Bewitched ~ Bothered & Bewildered by whats going on around them and in the UK due to BREXIT & BORIS. Sometimes our Militia serving overseas ~ are only told what the need to hear. As afr as the USA is concerned (in case nobody told you !) YOU HAVE BEEN TRUMPED !

Blessings & Peace & Joy
Yours B & A 💙🧡💙
