Tristan Robert Lange said:

Safina, this reminds me how many people eventually reach that realization that caring for others cannot mean losing yourself. Learning to set boundaries is a difficult lesson but often a necessary one. Your poem reads like advice given after walking through that experience firsthand. Strong message here, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Beautiful. If only more people would read poetry instead of stock markets.

Poison
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Safina, what stayed with me most is how the poem keeps returning to that word “poison.” Each time it widens the circle…air, food, speech, leadership, even the heart itself. The repetition gives the message real weight. Strong writing, my friend. On another note, I am with you. Very, very distressed with the state of the world. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Not only is this straight from the heart and very impressive but it contains an important message that could be very useful/helpful to those facing either adversity or something that they know is likely to help but fear it also (most probably because of anticipated discomfort or of the procedure going wrong) .. Like I have already said, .. very impressive .. Neville 😎🌻👍

Safina, I\'m all sympathy and empathy when it comes to knee replacement surgery. Recovery seemed twice as long and twice as painful as a hip replacement, though with the services of a good surgeon, the result, as with the hip, are superb - as you discovered

A poetic expression of what wear and tear on the body and soul of a person can do and how one should approach it. Well written

A letter to myself so to speak, this is amazing, a poem written to share with one\'s own self keeping the very vision and prospective that it will all be ok, I did the same sort of thing when I went to have my baby. I was terrified but had my special note to remind me it would all be ok. Most beautiful and soothing, I too need a new right Knee but I\'m too young for now, and I am also very much a chicken. A most pleasurable read my dear NafisaSB 🌹

How absolutely write you are .. sometimes I need to be reminded why I resent and despise my own species so much .. its that seemingly insatiable hunger, greed & appetite that does it .. bang on ma\'am I like the sound of your drum .. unless I am gravely mistaken and it is something else being beaten out of me .. 😎👍

Bitter truths carved in rhyme, like knives in velvet—your anger is righteous and unflinching.
The world’s folly wears a familiar mask, and you name it without mercy.

Now that\'s a good write, NafisaSB/Safina. I get irritated that I cannot address you correctly, but since your heart appears to be in the right place, am prepared to forgive you...☺️

Violence and injustice bring their own retribution. No injustice lasts for ever. Thus, even those who enjoy power at its highest are bound to face the backlash at some point.
