What a wonderful metaphor this is and so nicely exposed with exploration of each detail that fits in the grand scheme of not only institution and building but in the mind of those within. A fave

Mommy Mommy Mommy
sorenbarrett said:
Emerging as an actual physical piece of our mothers we can not help but be closely tied. Residing inside them for nine months we are both part of the same being. Sharing DNA food and emotions. She protects us for our first years, is the nurturing part of our day taking care of our needs. A lovely write

Today I Walk Into The Fire Of Myself
Paul Bell said:
Sometimes self-analysis is actually worse than people talking about you.
In saying that, January is the month for starting anew, throwing out the past and moving on.
Just realised, those were the ex\'s words.

Living In A Coffin
Friendship said:
An interesting title, this poem, \"Living In A Coffin,\" revolves around the themes of confinement, internal struggle, and the haunting nature of memory and guilt. The poet reflects on their emotional and psychological state, comparing their experience to living in a coffin, symbolizing both physical and metaphorical entrapment. The poem explores the darkness of solitude, the cyclical nature of thoughts, and the fear of confronting one\'s true self.

A most interesting choice of metaphor in this poem and its potential meaning. Nicely written it speaks of isolation and withdrawal but also symbolic death. Very nicely done

Depressing Screaming
Friendship said:
Well worded. Your poem revolves around the experience of chronic emotional fatigue and the struggle to maintain a façade of normalcy despite internal turmoil. The poet conveys a sense of exhaustion that transcends physical tiredness, highlighting the relentless pressure of unacknowledged feelings.

There’s a Bullet in My Brain
Friendship said:
Well written, your poem revolves around the concept of trauma and the enduring impact of painful memories or experiences. The metaphor of a \"bullet\" in the brain symbolizes a deep-seated thought or trauma that is difficult to expunge, yet the speaker learns to navigate life around it, suggesting resilience and the ability to find light and meaning despite suffering.

Where My Heart Refused To Whisper
Soman Ragavan said:
The heart is a most mysterious part of our body. Through it we experience pain, joy, doubt, etc. Perhaps our greatest protector is the heart. It senses that which other parts of our body do not detect. It warns us of dangers that remain unseen. The ways of the heart are mysterious, but most of the time they work for our own benefit, for our safety.
