red
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Rage. Indeed one sees red. I have been there. Poetry is a GREAT way to let it out, actually...not that I need to tell you that, because that is exactly what you are doing here. Well done, my friend! This is a brilliant expression of an emotion we all try to hide ourselves away from. You, on the other hand, have embraced it...and there\'s power in that! That\'s the first step, in my opinion, to controlling it. I find that emotions control us the more we try to deny them. Anyway, well done NinjaGirl! Red slayed! 🌹👏

Seeing red an old cliche is something that can happen in times of extreem rage. Better to let it out a little at a time before hand. I could sense the anger in this poem.

mind trapped
Poetic Licence said:
I have been in this situation and even now it happens sometimes, where your mind will not rest and it relieves everything over and over again, verbally kicking yourself to death in your head. This of course then creates self doubt, suspicion, fear, anger and so on, and the constant expectation of the worst possible outcome, the cycle goes on. The only thing i can say it does get better, which is not much help when you dealing with it, but it does, well written verse. take care

Cloie said:
This explores the intense emotional toll of overthinking, amazingly showing how the mind can torture itself with possibilities, even when nothing has actually happened. It reflects the paradox of wanting to prepare for the worst while being weighed down by fear and self-doubt. I can deeply relate to the vulnerability and rawness of these emotions, which come through so clearly in just a few lines.

What you describe is common to people that have suffered significant trauma. These echoes of the past bring back old memories. A haunting write.

Whether you resort to setting the past on fire and letting the ashes serve for making soap to wash all quite away, or simply shut the door on the same, in stating the case thus, I realize the difference. Every morning is yet another opportunity to lift up your eyes and reach for higher in lieu of what was. Likewise the previous year and past are put away that we might move forward.
That aside, how beautifully rendered with great imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Love you!

I love this! It seems, my dear friend, that we both had fire on the mind! I absolutely love this and I am glad we both set the 🔥 loose at the same time! How awesome! Well done on this! A great little reminder to oneself! Thank you for this! 🙏❤️

Cleaning out old memories and burning them is a great image to present especially at the first of the year. We clean out our atics and our garage why not our mind. Well done

Abuse sucks! A real example of the sin and evil out in the world. This poem, my dear friend, flows like a chant…a wonderfully flowing rhyme that delivers the truth with a punch. Well done! 🍓👏

A great run of rhyme that leave a bit of doubt regarding whether abuse, or a tattoo. Maybe an abusive tattoo. Although short it gives a powerful message.

Poems can be liberating to the author and at their most powerful state liberating to others as well. I hear the determination in this poem and feel the drive

Raw sometimes is better than revised, my dear friend. Right now it\'s what it needs to be and, if ever you choose, you can rework or write a follow up. I\'ve at least found that approach to be liberating. I could feel every bit of pain and hurt in your words. They come across very deeply and, for this poem, that is key. Well done NinjaGirl! ❤️

Love this piece. It\'s about time for the flower to pluck back! I love the vibe this poem has...the taking back of what has been taken. Hauntingly beautiful and poignant, my dear friend! 🌹👏 An easy fave for me!

This poem dives deeper into the psychi of memory, The desire to be remembered for all that is good and the desire to forget all that is bad. Even the desire to be remembered for pain and sacrifice as opposed to be forgotten for not suffering, The idea of mayrterdom begins to enter and its eternal cementing in the memory of man. This poem bleeds perfume of the violet crushed on the heel. A very philosophical write

How beautifully rendered and with a haunting poignancy and imagery so delicate, I almost catch my breath. Once again I wish to know what that particular flower looks like, as I\'m more acquainted with the violets, of which I am, were I a flower. Thank you so very much for sharing! Love you.
