Self-Loathing
sorenbarrett said:

A poem of self deprecation where what is seen as bad is amplified and expanded into a cancer that devours that entire being. Dark and well painted

House that Breathes
sorenbarrett said:

That is the epitome of being ignored when the mirror won\'t even acknowledge you. A poem of being ostracized. Well done

Sudden Shifts
Paul Bell said:

It seems the human way, we get knocked down, we get back up.
Sure, there\'s a song there.
Though when I watch my football team, we never get back up.

Never Enough to be Me

Hollow Inside
Paul Bell said:

Death is a mere crack in the ceiling, waiting to be fixed, but not really waiting.
I died and no one noticed.
A fitting epitaph.
Great write.

Can\'t Delete Myself
Paul Bell said:

I think at some point we would all like to be deleted, or maybe the words deleted before we send them.
No doubt in the future the technology will be there.

peto said:

And self destructive vibe
Also killer ending

Can\'t Delete Myself
sorenbarrett said:

A most interesting metaphor cast in modern technology it emphasizes that as long as one thinks the self can not be deleted or erased. An operating system can be uninstalled but if it can not be deleted one has to ask how much of it is hardware not software. A good read

She Used to be My Quiet
sorenbarrett said:

I love the last two lines of this poem so cleverly worded. Yes those that teach us peace and then take it with them when they leave says so much about the relationship. Well written

She Used to be My Quiet
Paul Bell said:

Sometimes you have to say thank-you to people who come into your life and change it.
It gives you power to be like them and the confidence to get out and find another.

If I speak...
sorenbarrett said:

The words of the unheard call louder that the shouts of the deaf. A powerful poem that speaks to me. Lovely

A heartfelt write and description of someone trying to work through,pain, sadness of the past layer by layer, but fearing that when they get through all the layers, there will nothing to love, well written and expressed

June 16th, 2025 16:13

Suffocating Darkness
RSM0812 said:

This poems tittle is well put into words with this piece. I especially like the last line. Suffocating in the darkness. Powerful and well written. \"Burried alive behind my eyes\". The rhythm and Metre are both also perfectly on par. Great job.

Suffocating Darkness
sorenbarrett said:

Short but powerful loaded with wonderful images and metaphor. (Thoughts like teeth gnash at my bones) so vivid. What a splendid depiction of internal anguish. A fave

Scars
orchidee said:

It makes me shudder. I was at a self-help group, and tales of cutting, though understanding why they do it.

July 13th, 2022 13:45

Am I fine?
orchidee said:

We do it though - we may not know the person well enough; not want to tell them why we may not be OK; not want to give them a blow-by-blow account; etc.
Some - maybe a few - we know more fully; feel we can confide in them; find life is bit better after, say, a cup of tea and a slice of cake together. I sound like Worzel Gummidge there. lol.

At my age I now respond \" Well I got up this morning so all is well\".
