I\'ll wake up one day and say
\"Why the hell was I so afraid
Of a bunch of chickens!\"

Good write SB. As in another comment here, I tell KP she\'s ugly, and now she believes it. I needn\'t have wasted my breath telling her that though. lol.

Diversity is what makes this world so beautiful and so challenging. For me, I would rather take the challenges that come with it than to live with no diversity. Growing up in a rural setting, there was almost ZERO diversity...so I literally seek it out and have my whole adult life. Conversely, I spent till about 16 trying to \"fit\" in and shed what made me unique in order not appear different than the herd. At 16...that facade came crashing down and never returned. Why? Because I learned quick that no matter how I \"appeared\" to other people, they were still not going to accept me. So, I said \"f@*k them!\" and started to be myself and hung around people who accepted me for who I was. I\'ve not looked back. In this poem, the title goes along with the content. People who are afraid to appear different and keep up appearances. But that can, of course, and should change. A powerful metaphor indeed, my friend. 🌹👏

Now that just opens up the idea of being hen-pecked and growing a tortoise shell that thickens in response to adversity. Like a friend of mine relates quite often, remain always soft on the inside but be sure to be tough skinned like the turtle on the outside 🐢

Heartless progeny is the hinge all of this swings on. That, and it takes my daughter to explain technology to me now.

The subject is very close to my heart. A fascinating poem, makes one question the path of progress on the rubble of the dead. Loved it!

Reading this I could see a really lonely robot. Brilliant, we really are slaves to all this technology and social media, I truly fear for my Son who isn\'t even 12 yet. 🌹

Captured me entirely. As a child both being entirely fascinated and at once repulsed by leaking batteries, your imagery paints in the walls of the mind! A definite keeper in this poem. 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻

Sounds like a description of KP! I am horrible to her! Awww. lol.
I rarely get the true meaning of anything \'hidden\' in poems. In some cases I become offensive - \'Grr! No, I didn\'t meant that at all\' is the reply. (lol)
