Decay of Sapience

Yes, these days so many people look from approval from social media and other people. Not gonna lie, I\'m guilty of that myself sometimes. But it\'s a working progress!

The Suicide of Self-worth
L. B. Mek said:

I support the aim of your write
thanks for sharing,
(don\'t worry too much
about giving such a full background
to your write\'s meaning or inspiration,
trust in your work
to contain the vast majority of the info
you want to convey)
also might be useful
to offer links
to emergency and counselling
helplines and websites
whenever you share
a write on such themes
just on the off-chance, your words
become an igniting, beacon
for someone to capitalise
on the help
that\'s now widely available..

Letter Never Opened
Alexander J. Wolfe said:

Thank you for your kind words! I try my best to be transparent and genuine. I want to help people in some small way, to have a voice, and to share my story. I believe that the first step to do that is being true to yourself both inwardly and outwardly. Thanks for reading!

Nothing at all;

I would like to thank L. B. Mek for the advice given on a previous work of mine. I think this advice makes this work far more artistic and might help to paint a picture in the mind.

Heart of Scars
L. B. Mek said:

firstly thanks for the 🔞
and advise warning, in author\'s comment
(sadly no paragraphs function
I assume its to save space)..
the most annoying thing
they scream at people
to help with their writing
is \'show, not tell\'
and I think, that\'s what would help your writing reach that next level;
\'in my humble opinion\'
cutting yourself, is one of modernity\'s
mindless fads
an extension of the tattooing craze
(a sad cry of aesthetic ownership
since most of us
will go trough our lives
without owning
a single bit of land
and so
we scrape away, and toil
at our skin
like it\'s a blank canvas
to play with)
but, there are ways
to paint pictures in people\'s imaginations
without complicated wordplay or crude descriptions
like your verse below:
\'I cut that heart into my skin.
It was to symbolize the dysfunction within.
Symbolically cutting you out of my heart.
My heart covered in the webs you spin.
I still thought we could have been.
But really the game was rigged from the start.
Just know you have no place in my heart
Your only place is on my skin.\'
could make twice the impact
if your worded it, a little less
blunt, maybe something like:
\'tingling skin, remembering
needle prickling
but this ache, dripping
its corrosive existence
into these lines, lies
deeper than mere flesh
and crimson, deeper
where your poison
scarred my heart
scarred me, as if
my pain
fuels itself, relentlessly
from within\'
(or something like that
but what do I know;
art is as subjective as it gets, in life
and Poetry
is the most subjective of all
our beloved artforms,
so if you like
how your work looks now
then don\'t change a syllable,
trust in yourself! above all else
these are just my two cents worth
of a busybody\'s advise,
pleas know I meant well
and never meant
to disrespect you in anyway,
if you think I did
I will gladly, sincerely
apologise in advance)
thanks for sharing
and Happy New Year!

I don\'t think we can separate paragraphs in author\'s comments. It seems to put the comments into one lump when it saves them.
