Kind of a terrifying piece of poetry. What is the world coming to if we have to exist in conditions such as this. Is there no hope for mankind? Your poem shines light on situations that spell disaster for future times. Will the world be a place of armed camps? Kill or be killed? Not such a pretty picture, but you\'ve painted it well. Enjoyed this read. - Phil A.

This poem has an important message that more people should practice. It can be a narcissistic world unfortunately. People often forget the feelings of others.

Nataiella another powerful write of dominance, power, maintaining one\'s turf and respect. This extends beyond the literal knife to the symbolic knife wielded in life. Nicely written

We were raised to use knives as tools in the olden days, it was a sign of growing up now it\'s just not the same. 🕊️🙏🏻

There\'s a lot of it about. Not only knives, it\'s machetes, bloody great blades. And only one Aust state has made the grave decision to ban them after a gang rumble in a large shopping mall (can\'t be having that, it might frighten the customers - it did actually...)
You have nailed it in your write.

Cheeky Missy said:
Wow. How very beautiful, yet so bittersweet, akin to the darkest chocolate which seems like chalk in the mouth until it melts, yielding a subtle sweetness. Gorgeous and excellently rendered with lovely imagery and a haunting, damning poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing. I\'m sorry you\'ve suffered thus.

A sadness pervades this poem a melancholic pain of past trauma that prevents immediate healing and a lost sense of where one belongs. Very nicely written

Your poem beautifully captures the longing for love and safety amidst pain. The contrast between the dream’s warmth and heartbreaking reality is deeply moving. Thank you for sharing such raw and powerful emotions.

Thanks Tobani.

Very emotive words Tobani, that other side is within us all but you can learn from it to provide happiness to the good side. Find a box like I do to put the dark thoughts in and throw away the key.

Are you talking to yourself in this one?
Wait, I just checked the comments! Now, this recalls an old teaching where the demons are converted into guardians. Isn’t that a mystery?!

Radha Raghunathan said:
Betrayal often enrages. But should that rage be allowed to engulf one\'s mind to the point of throttling the betrayer\'s neck? More so, what if the betrayer is one\'s own mind? There is no need to continue to be pally with such a victimiser. But, one suggestion is to get the best bargain by making the victimiser one\'s ally at arm\'s length.

MendedFences27 said:
The answer to your closing questions is YES. This sort of self-evaluation is dangerous and often ends in personality disorders. The greater good comes from accepting the frailty of human beings and forgiving whoever is the object of your wrath. If it is you, remember that you are human as well. What is done is done. All that matters is today and your tomorrows. If something in your past is troubling you, perhaps you can make amends without resorting to violent means.
Your poetry was engrossing and captivating. It draws the reader in and makes them think. What more can one ask of a poet? Enjoyed my time with this poem. - Phl A.
