Self Harm
JaydeVictoria said:

I really like this. As someone who has gone through these issues...the fact you mention they are worn with pride...not many people understand why, or even how someone can do this. Thank you for highlighting it.

Self Harm
dusk arising said:

Shocker. You\'ve brought to me a new appreciation of some aspects of self harming here. I had not been aware that the scars were worn with pride.
Disturbing, revealing, educational.
What a gripping piece from you today.

Self Harm
Michael Edwards said:

For those who have never experienced it either personally or within the family it\'s hard to understand but I do appreciate the trauma for those who do and this sad yet engaging write clearly brings it home. It\'s so easy to say \'get a grip\' but that isn\'t the answer for those so sadly affected.

Oh Neville - - that telling last stanza goes right to the core of most issues of this tragic subject -- a read to set the heart breaking for such ones who resort to self-harm . A sad but true happening within
families and expressed with compassion in your posting today.

Oohh the subject makes me shudder - and not out of swooniness (is that a word?). I came across some in a counselling group. I can understand why they do it though.

Very well expressed! Thank you

Mirrors Cracked
dusk arising said:

Bits of this and that remain, glances at mirrors recall a lurking \'why?\'. A piece of crockery, a salt cellar, happy days in St Ives... a hope worn out,... yesterdays tomorrows denied.
For me they are all there in your writing today.

orchidee said:

A fine write N. I\'m not saying I\'m ugly, but I\'ve had a million years bad luck it seems. Well, I will keep looking in the mirror. Each time it cracks and it adds 7 years bad luck. Doh!
I might be handsome?! heehee.

You sorted out that propitiation? I got enough to do with all this \'vagalume\' that keeps appearing elsewhere. Who is he, or what is it?! lol.

dusk arising said:

A truly poetic farewell. Yes some goodbyes linger for they are a lost battle of the heart and wounds take their time to heal.
I particularly like the way your pulse will dance on into high and wonderful places. Life goes on and has wonders yet to come.

War is disgusting, now a lovely place is known for it\'s part in three wars and is on the tourist map for its cemetery. Three thousand souls, victims of politicians war game lay there.

orchidee said:

I\'ve gone up some garden path or summat, and got lost - Bethune? Some University comes up when I google it. I dunno these things! Just as well? Fido might bark on some interpreting of this poem, if it was not marked18+. lol. Ahh, I need to scroll through Bethune meanings.

dusk arising said:

I\' ve just been enjoying a refreshing cup of viagra tea. It doesn\'t do anything for you sexually but stops your dunked biscuits from going floppy.
I am an occasional toast eater. Your piece has whet my appetite for some .... hmm i\'m almost smelling the stuff.

Victims of Indifference
Goldfinch60 said:

That indifference is a strong weapon that those in power apply to those they supposedly work for, but all they want is their own lives in their castles in the clouds and blow the rest of us.
