I Will

There is deep hurt in this poem. Some wounds don’t heal and that can prevent moving on. Many build walls of protection. Your poem will be relatable to many. Thank you for posting athora13

Bared Teeth
L. B. Mek said:

(and yet
a little empathy, a slice of patience
and all that knotted anger will unravel, gradually
and like that muscle
that flared up anytime, we tried
to take a step
eventually with the right TLC
we\'ll find, beneath the pain
awaits, a path to uncovering a strength
we never knew we could attain..
Schopenhauer, and that laughing philosopher, Democritus
knew it best:
\'life is suffering\'..
but if we find a way to hand-on, to survive
to save another, or that betraying reflection
in the mirror
we may yet curate a path, to that better
we never dared to dream of, before...)

Wild Desire
L. B. Mek said:

if it\'s worth fighting for, hold on
unless you get a clear rejection
you can dream
but try and safeguard your heart
prepare for the worst
while hoping for the best

Κάταγμα (fractured)
L. B. Mek said:

searching sincerity, thanks for sharing
this is a tough journey to embark on
I just hope, you can find
solace, enough - in twilight\'s shards
to enjoy, some parts of the journey
(sadly, all the therapy in the world
amounts to looking in that mirror
and having a starkly open conversation
with ourselves
to excavate, who we may be
without our persona armours
and then
we get to really dig, excavate
a version of ourselves
we can come to accept, if we\'re lucky)

Όλα και Τίποτα (Everything and Nothing) Part 1 & 2
L. B. Mek said:

\'Tugging within growls for control\'

\'I know all but know none till\'

\'Till it’s tendrils drift out\'

\'I will emerge\'

(It is a privilege, to greet
your bravery, dear Poet
thank you! for choosing to share
for choosing to fight
and disseminating the wisdom
you\'ve garnered, along the way)
I read and learn..
stay strong!
