People romanticize dreams too much

And we probably were in one form or another atoms, molecules, cells and life itself all things circulate and neither matter or energy can be destroyed only transformed. Very nicely written with great rhyme and flow a fave

I have a bad habit of predicting reactions rather than listening to responses.

This seems a poem of reflection and thought about one\'s impact on self and others. Well done

You ever feel like nothing works out when you need it to?

Here is a declaration of regret and apology for who one is. Well expressed.

I loved this the magic of the world is no longer magic when we understand it but it still happens and we go on calling it science but does not a rose smell as sweet by any other name. Well written

Friendship said:

A powerful poem, your poem explores the complexities of love, loss, and identity. It reflects on the pain of comparing oneself to a past lover and the struggle to find meaning in the remnants of a relationship. The port grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the haunting presence of an ex-lover, while yearning for affirmation of love that now feels elusive.

I\'m awful at allegories
sorenbarrett said:

Beautiful this narrative set in friendly characters the savage and civilized sit in communion (the question is which is the savage and which the civilized) There are so many ways that this metaphor fits between man and nature, man and himself exterior and interior. It is a magnificent tale and poem of enlightenment all wrapped into one and so nicely worded in poetic form a fave

This poem feels somehow brotherly and spiritual. A nicely written poem

Honestly, I\'ve never felt more connected with the world than when I slipped and fell on a patch of ice last week and thought my tailbone was broken

Unsure of the connection between your title and your verse (that\'s the whole point, he says - get with it!). However, you have the purchase process on the \'net at times hung drawn and quartered, and given some of my experiences there, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

A most surreal poem that takes the reader on a journey. Full of symbolic metaphor it comes to its recognition that in the end we are all we got. Nicely done

I don\'t normally drink socially, but I like to pretend that makes me a worse person

This hit close. The physical detail, the looping self‑command, the way shame and hope collide—I’ve sat in that chair too. You captured that inner war without dressing it up.

I wonder where Daniel is vacationing this year
sorenbarrett said:

The existential search for identity is in all of us and we call out to our mother that is now long gone for guidance but there is no voice but our own that comes back in echo. We have now grown up and need to find ourselves. A raw and deep write of where one is and where one will go.

Have you ever stopped to consider how the ant feels when a giant pane of glass floating in the air beams pure sunlight into its carapace?
