Friendship said:
The poem revolves around the complex relationship between an individual and their inner struggles, possibly representing mental health issues such as depression or anxiety. The speaker personifies these struggles as a persistent companion that the individual cannot escape from, highlighting themes of dependency, self-loathing, and the duality of feeling both alone and accompanied by one\'s own darkness. The subject matter delves into the torment of living with these internal conflicts and the paradox of finding

I feel wanting to be skinny ain\'t the way to go - to be healthy the goal....but none of that is what you are really dealing with, is it?

A raw and powerful piece. The relentlessness in these lines mirrors the relentlessness of the voice itself…it never lets go, and that’s what makes it hit so hard. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Love assonance! A strong and haunting piece, 🥷. The cadence carries the chaos well…every line tight, jagged, and real. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Obsessive and intoxicating is what comes to mind whilst reading this. Love and hate combined perhaps. Very intriguing.

There is no ointment- a gem. Psst...what about- running like it\'s doomsday? Surely another gem of a line. Now the question is- is it perfection of assonance? Or assonance in perfection? Not sure. But surely I am sure of having liked it very much.

Try as I might, I\'m unable to get my head around assonance - can\'t teach an old dog.... I will have to stick with rhyme, I think. But what of the message? Feels a wee bit nihilistic to me....

There\'s always an ointment, and for a few dollars I can put you in touch with a man who will put you in touch with another man, and before you know it, you\'ll be unpoisonous.

I understand this all too well. Our minds try to protect us by hiding things. It doesn\'t work, though, does it? I spent a long time trying to bring it back and heal.

\"Everything happens for a reason\" Yeah, right.
Doggerel Dave said:
Ok - let\'s be clear. I\'m not a stalker. Just after our recent exchanges I felt I\'d like to suss you out a little. Not finished yet, you\'ve got rather a large back catalogue...
The phrase \'everything happens for a reason\' is trite and means nothing, yet I\'ve heard it many times myself. \'Everything happens at random (wrong place, wrong time) has more meaning, but still got a way to go.
What happened when you were ten, I don\'t want to go there, but am deeply sad and sorry.

Keeter C said:
I used to believe people were basically good then watch four people not only not lift a finger to help an innocent girl bleeding out but turn to face away not wanting to see or be inconvenienced.
Not to be preaching but reminds me reprobate mind and no natural affection spoken of. Nice write.

Justified as escapism, but from what is being escaped? Rationality too hard to cope with?
A big issue which needs regular airing. Thanks.

Dearest 🥷, this lands with weight ...he aliens on screen, the kids with guns, the way entertainment numbs us to violence. And that ending alliteration seals it: we’ve mistaken bullets for answers to disagreement. Honest, sharp, and true...tragic. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Powerful and needed poem.

A great poem with meaning. Violent video games, movies, TV shows, violence in music desensitized most can handle it but a few have little restraints and no access to mental health, even if they did they would not go. Those that do go few listen or change. A sad world it is. Good write very well done

Yes, many a time I thought, I\'d love to shoot that clown.
Then I realised, the clown is actually the most sensible person out there.
Still, in these conflicting times, we have to shoot someone, cos obscene language can get you jailed in Britain.
