Love it Mr Bleasdale.
\"For tomorrow I look forward with excitement and dreams
No longer going to sleep trying to drown out the screams
So tomorrow shall come and I will stand tall.
Thinking more of the climb and less of the fall\"
I don\'t think there is a soul on this planet that can\'t resonate with those words - I wish you all the best on your climb, and the inevitable falls to come as well; that is the nature of life. I like the importance you place on the climb over the fall.

The Struggle
L. B. Mek said:
\'a marching line
to - match
each unique struggles, reply
penned as that revealing infusion
of raw: fighting spirit
we call upon
while traversing those trenches
of life\'..
a great distillation of self-mined insightful, commentary
weaving self-revealing potency of validity, within abstracted perspectives on society\'s misery..
a great read dear poet, thanks for sharing,
\'we all started peddling
with our bravery, clutched
in the hands
of life\'s training wheels\'..

That strength in the struggles we each achieve shows us how to cope with each new moment in a better way and each moment then becomes more wonderful.

Is this revealing or fiction. I\'m asking myself this because if it is a revealing piece then serious consideration should be given to taking ones self off the treadmill of struggle. Continual struggle will do serious damage to mental health.
Hoping to see a more light hearted lifestyle reflected here for you.

And it helps surely, that YOU yourself are helped also, by writing out these things, well expressed. :)

dear poet, friendship begins (like most things), with yourself
see: when you can spend days on end, in your own company alone and fuel that self-motivation to keep busy, whilst still squeezing every drop of joy from life, then
you\'ll understand whoever comes in and out of your life will have a limited impact: for you already know, you\'ll be just fine on your own..
this \'learned\' mindset, creates a domino effect in your future relationships, see in order for us to find those true few friends, we need to weed out all those wannabe impersonators.. sometimes we make childhood friends that last a lifetime but not much after,
other times we only find our true friends - near the end of our journey and they arrive just in-time to ease those toughest last few miles..
what\'s important is we keep our perception of self worth intact, while we\'re searching, so that we never settle for anything less than we deserve,
while remembering: friendship exists in the act of freely \'giving\' without \'expectation\' of reciprocation..
at least that\'s what I\'ve found to be true for me, in my humble opinion

Yes the world has changed but within this sadness good things have come, so many people help others out of the goodness of their hearts and many of these you do not hear about, hopefully that kindness will continue when we return to a new normality.

\'Freedom of speech, gone out the door
A difference of opinion? This means war!\'..
how depressingly apt..
a good read, an all encompassing summation of this diabolic epidemic\'s tale - as witness
to humanity\'s capacity to survive and eventually: prevail!

But the sun is shining today through my windows facing east. Warmth upon my back and contented happiness in my frame.
Such small everyday recurrences bring a smile to my face. And yes, to sit relaxed in a place foreign to me beneath this same sunlight enjoying an ice cream sundae would be bliss.
Days not too far away i hope.

I’m so sorry to hear about your wife, I can not imagine what that was like. I feel poetry allows us to express out feeling and emotions directly or even indirectly without speaking one word

Such very good comments which I agree with and believe in poetry so much for helping us through bad times, my wife suffered from dementia for many years and without poetry I may not have coped and then when she passed away poetry has brought me back from the brink into the wonderful world that is there for us all.

I agree with both the above comments, mrbleasdale. I was lucky and never had to go through any of the hardships both you and d a had to endure. Even though we \'writers\' have to have a lot of imagination and maybe are a bit like actors in having to be able to step into a character, your pain is hard to even imagine. I love the line \'Draw strength from the fear and use it for power\'.
Your poem is very well written. Kudos

I second the comments made above by L.B.Mek wholeheartedly.
I had a very bad experience when, straight after my marriage broke down, I took up with a passionate but extremely violent beautiful woman. I was left scarred mentally (by both her and my marriage break-down) when i eventually I broke free. That continued for years.
But I\'m a poet. I wrote it out of my system. Poetry can do that. I encourage you to do the same. Poetry is great self therapy and saves a fortune in shrink bills.
Keep writing because this piece is very well written and readable.

\'Please please realise it’s not just your fight
Open up and don’t be afraid
Come in to the light and out of shade
It won’t be easy I can promise that
But what of you they took, is not all you’re about!\'..
this reads as a message of empathetic comradery, surpassing boundaries of identity politics\' - antics, of segregation between suffering\'s supposed tiers of relevance...
instead, aiming to create awareness of a universal plight and most importantly: offering raw words of sculpted fingers, stretching-out as a lifeline beacon for those lost, to bleak reality of that darkness they keep stifled, deep within..
