Unspoken so loud
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dan, this captures the pressure of everything carried internally but never fully expressed. There is a restless urgency throughout that feels deeply honest. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

No pill but poetry
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dan, this really spoke to me. Writing does not erase our wounds, but it gives them language and movement...turning personal struggle toward something immense and mysterious. It has carried me through places no simple remedy could reach. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

No Sisters at all, and definitely too late now. However several women have provided what I think was sisterly support in long standing friendships. Fewer than you might imagine were full of lust and longing, although...

Such a warm and heartfelt piece, Poetic Dan. A sibling’s faithful presence can offer a safety unlike anything else. Much enjoyed, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There is deep meaning in these distinctions and the loyalty of a sister is often ignored. A good write and recognition of a special bond.

True words Dan, humans can be so dreadful but in life we can find good people who give us peace and love.

My friend, this is brief but carries a fierce indictment. We destroy what sustains us and then act surprised by the consequences. Powerful piece, Poetic Dan. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Building character
Thomas W Case said:
This has a strong ethical center: it refuses the easy cliché that suffering automatically “builds character.” The best turn is near the end, where inherited pain becomes a responsibility rather than an excuse.
“We can\'t judge / What was passed down, / But we can take responsibility / To end needless suffering / Right now.”
That feels like the poem’s real thesis, and it lands because it moves from metaphysics—cause and effect, frequency, vibration—into something concrete and human: the cycle can stop with us.

My favorite line “Unless you\'re the receiver
And it\'s covered in pain.” It’s so good

Needless suffering appears to be the norm now, usually caused by some plonker wanting to rule the world.
Will it ever change, probably not, despots are in abundance out there.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Damn, Dan...that opening immediately got me. 😂 “It builds character” sounds wonderfully profound when you aren’t the poor bastard whose character is currently being built! But the destination here is serious and important: whatever reached us through the past, we still get to decide what ends with us. Excellent piece, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Doggerel Dave said:
Dan, I\'ve been on this site over five years now. And I know of at least some of the troubles you have been through. Though If I read you right you have reached some kind of reconciliation and peace despite it all. More power to you, man.
Of the poem itself I only need add that it delivered a rich message.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dan, this hit me hard. There’s a lifetime being carried here...fatherhood, love, survival, heartbreak, gratitude, and the sheer determination to keep choosing life through all of it. Powerful and deeply human, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

My friend, sunsets have always felt like natural moments for reflection, and this captures that feeling well. There is a quiet stillness here that I found myself settling into as I read. Really enjoyed this. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I have similar experiences Dan
So feel this
Always think you are a bit harsh on yourself, but only you can be
The hope I get from this is the line
\"With so many demons put to rest 8n my lane\"

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dan, this really hit me hard. The conflict between profound love and complete emotional depletion is painfully honest, and you refuse to make either feeling less complicated than it is. Putting this into words took courage. I’m relieved you are seeking professional help...please keep reaching outward, my friend. Powerful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
