History of an old wound
Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem explores the theme of unresolved trauma and pain, likening it to an old wound that remains unhealed. The poet reflects on the burden of this emotional or psychological wound, suggesting that it is deeply ingrained and continues to affect their identity and creativity. Yet it seems the poet\'s relationship with their past, particularly a painful experience that is metaphorically described as a wound. The imagery of an old poem, yellowed pages, and the metaphor of infection suggest a deep-seated struggle with memory and emotion. Yet your poem seeks to articulate the experience of living with emotional wounds and the complex process of healing, emphasizing the challenges of confronting and expressing pain through art. The notion of “amputation” as a painful but necessary solution highlights the difficulty of letting go of the past to heal.

A harrowing piece, Soren. The language turns memory into anatomy, and the question of whether to heal or amputate feels painfully real. There’s courage in naming that choice so plainly. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

As the surgeon says, I\'ve cut it away, but you\'ll still feel it\'s there.
I\'ve had a verse I wrote about twenty years ago, and I really like it, but I just can\'t find any other words to finish it.

This one cuts like self-surgery—writing as infection, memory as something that won’t stop bleeding.
Brutal honesty, no romance in the pain, just the hard truth that sometimes healing means losing a piece.

Congratulations ❤️.Your poem revolves around the beauty and serenity of nature and the feelings of peace and contentment it evokes. The imagery of stars, birds, and gentle breezes suggests a harmonious relationship between the observer and the natural world. The Poet matter includes elements of nature (the dawn, birds, summer breeze) and emotional responses (smiles, whispers, cradling arms), conveying a sense of tranquility and connection.

A lovely metaphor, Soren. It reads as innocence, yes, but also as presence itself…being held in a moment before identity, fear, or language takes over. Gentle, restrained, and deeply human. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Soren, this hits hard. It’s relentless…name after name after name, until the horror stops shocking and starts feeling normalized. That exhaustion is part of the point, and it lands. I love the title, too! Wicked and killer!
And yeah…as a Marilyn Manson fan, that wordplay name drop was sharp. 😏 It fit the cultural bleed you’re exposing and, apropos, what Brian Warner was going for in his name choices. Strong stuff, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Children\'s cartoons like children\'s nursery rhymes do tread a fine line for the ones involved.
Always felt that if you put them under the physiatrists\' microscope, they wouldn\'t be allowed out in public.
Mind you, some physiatrists are nuttier than their patients.
