Your performance of a lifetime
L. B. Mek said:

\'I keep giving you silent treatment\'
dear Poet,
this is a powerful tool!
ignoring someone, when you finally realise
there is no other way
is a viable option for insuring
your survival
but
more than the silent treatment
you need to cultivate an indifference
to that person\'s existence
every day, reinforce your will
whatever they do
you must insure, it can\'t effect you
cultivate your independence
let their words, simply flow
like a pervasive stink, show
you can\'t avoid it all
you can\'t ignore their taunts and antics
but
with each occasion you can overcome
without reacting
you grow by marginalising their power
to influence your life
and soon, you\'ll find a cold embrace
hardening your heart
till someday, whatever they do
you realise, how pathetic they are
from your point of view
do not race to hate
that\'s a self-corrosive influence
they will try to taint you with
instead
imagine them as being too, insignificant
to hate
theirs more power in indifference, than hate...
till then, just survive day to day
and be proud
overcoming our toxic families and circumstances
of birth
is that first, hurdle
we all must navigate in life..
and never apologise
for letting your Poetry, carry
some of your burdens in life
purposed negativity, can be a tool
of self-therapy
utilise your Art, as you see fit..
stay strong!

Brother
L. B. Mek said:

I always dreamed of having a brother
I\'m jealous of all who have someone
they can relate to, without restraint
or a need to pretend
that you appreciate your gift, warms me
that you can ink your thoughts
so eloquently
makes me smile..
thank you! for choosing to share

Great (pity) party

a slim line between, compassion

outlined, line..

I hear you
wise.word.weilder said:

\'I hear you\' are the three most beautiful words you can say to someone. It holds so much in them that we cannot describe.

I won\'t forget about you
wise.word.weilder said:

Sometimes I feel it\'s the bond more than the memories we miss. Memories get replaced by time, but we cannot replace how someone made us feel. And it stays with us till the end.

Bring them hope

I enjoyed reading this piece. As a Christian and someone who truely does believe in the Lord, I know that although war does happen, and sometimes being justified, love always conquors in the end. Keep writing my friend. Keep the faith.
Persistence is key
