I guess there is music called emotion in the spaces between the notes. This is my favorite poem.

The pause is important that is where you stamp your own mark, nicely written

Two people playing the same song do not sound the same. Each puts their own soul into it. It is the white spaces that make it yours

I still have vague memories of trauma, but I don\'t think I can reject it because it\'s the path I\'ve taken.

No one opens doors easily if they already know the horrors behind them. I have found with time, some i managed to have a peek through, some i opened and some i decided it was best i never opened again, but each person is different. I totally understand the feeling and emotion in this poem. All the best

Great metaphor and it is hard to open doors that have no key. Hard to change what you have always been. A most existential poem.

Raw, open and full of gut wrenching emotion. This poem is difficult to take in its honesty and sadness. It shows sensitivity to the emotional needs of others in contradiction to their own. Complex and courageous in its expression. A tough read. Bravo

Abuse is never acceptable and to allow it only fosters it. So glad to hear that this poem acknowledges it and no the victim is not to blame. A powerful write that takes courage to write.

Yes! You are! We all have areas we need to grow in, but we should fundamentally love ourselves for who we are. Oh, my dear friend, I feel for you as I know this struggle deeply. The struggle to love yourself. I am so praying for healing for you and trust you will resiliently find a way to it...but it is so very hard and takes time. That I know personally. Your writing, no doubt, is a part of your healing. It has been a part of mine. And I still got a hell of a lot more to heal. My heart is heavy for you, but I also rejoice at the fact that you, my talented friend, have found this outlet of expression. Anywho, I hope you are well and cannot wait to read another of your poems! ๐ And, maybe next time I won\'t read it 4 days late! ๐คฃ Hope you had a Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday!

Short gut punch... in the best way poetry can do that. You always wake me from my daily somnambulation with your questions. Wounds can heal, but the deep ones leave scars. Scars can be a sign of wisdom, and are sexy to boot!

Perhaps you will realize at some later point when you\'ve given up, that you have actually always been more fond of yourself than otherwise-- it\'s what causes us so much misery. We love ourselves, that\'s why we\'re perpetually dissatisfied with ourselves, because reality proves we fall short of our high estimation. But enough of that.
Beautifully rendered in charming brevity with a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

4:00am, mtn Dew, and bad decisions
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My dear friend, this poem packs a punch despite its deceptively simple appearance. I love how you\'ve captured the loneliness and desperation of those late-night/early-morning hours. Been there and felt that. The line \'but isn\'t that / the same?\' is particularly poignant, highlighting the blurred lines between genuine connection and physical presence/comfort. Your words resonate deeply, reminding me of similar experiences with insomnia and the search for connection. I very much appreciate this piece, NinjaGirl.๐น๐

This is deeper than the first glance does tell. Every one wants something and is that the same? Body, mind, money or your heart what is it you value? All in a point of view. A most thought provoking poem that bears the cynacism of age and the innocense of youth

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, this is tragically sad and profoundly powerful. It shows how victims of abuse end up blaming themselves and how the abuse follows them forever. I am so sorry this is your experience and so thankful you are giving it voice. By doing that you may not be breaking your abuser...but you are doing something far more powerful...getting that out of you in verse and being a voice for the voiceless...just as you were voiceless at one time. No more. And no, you are not letting your younger self down...in fact, you are showing her what resilience you have to face unthinkable horror and still to have not lost your voice. It doesn\'t take the abuse away, but why abuse yourself with unnecessary guilt? โค๏ธโ๐ฉน Anyway, well done, my friend! A beautiful, albeit tragic, piece of poetry. A poem of strength, if you ask me. ๐น๐

This is a relatable poem. Nice
I tried to commit suicide last year when I was very desperate, but death refused to kill me. I had to bite the bullet and now life goes on.

Ooh...\"losing myself to remember who I am\". ๐คฏ There you go with your master Ninja skills, stealthily sneaking that last line in at the end and taking the meaning of the poem to whole new levels. TOTAL NINJA MOVE...just saying, ๐คฃ This, my friend, is a hauntingly brilliant and profound write that deals with love, loss, and rediscovering who one is apart from another person. Moving from co-dependence to independence, perhaps?. Seriously. It is a wonderful example of how so much can be said in so few words. Brava! ๐น๐
