Red Hands
L. B. Mek said:

\'Destruction is a sacred art,
And my body is painted red\'..
in the film, Forrest Gump
there is a heart-breaking scene
that aligns with your poignant, write
its a scene where \'jenny\' throws rocks at her old house
and everything is implied in her
savage, crestfallen face
and the embittered tears, streaking
down them
eventually, Forrest says
\'... there\'s just not enough stones\'
(

)
and because there won\'t ever be enough stones
to reverse the morose injustice
of such heinous, crimes
as abuses by the ones we Trust..
I feel
any, achievable victory for survivors
exists in finding a way
to fuel that rage
into something, that can yield
a tangible benefit, in their life
for I have witnessed it first hand
and
if an avenue for that hate, isn\'t found
then it will consume them
from inside out..
(I laud your bravery, dear Poet
thanks for sharing
stay strong!)

There\'s No Change Without Risk

Don\'t ask who I\'ll be,

Wonder if I dare or dare not

Be me.

A Puzzle for a Brain
Rocky Lagou said:

I can relate to this honestly, it\'s so strange because on many occasions I find it difficult to accurately communicate with someone without sounding like I have no idea what I\'m talking about. Like you mention, my thoughts can also \"overlap\" and \"jumble\" and I\'m left confused. Hope poetry can be an outlet for you though, it surely helps to talk about your emotions.

A Puzzle for a Brain
L. B. Mek said:

\'There\'s no A to B
Or a straight and narrow road,
I don\'t have one single focus
I have dozens of tabs that won\'t open or close,

And it\'s difficult to talk
When I think a certain way
My words stumble and stutter
More than I do or say,\'

\'And I know I can think outside the box
But how is it good
When I can barely connect the dots?

Instead I jump from one point to the other
If I can\'t think, my words can smother
At least I can do one or the other.\'
(your Insights, scares me
and yet, I\'m Emboldened
by your relatable Veracity!)
thanks for sharing, dear Poet
I read and learn
