I really love the energy and message in this! It’s like a call to action, reminding people to embrace their opinions and share them, even when it\'s challenging. The emphasis on the power of expressing ourselves and not staying silent rings true. It highlights the importance of participation and how it shapes the world around us. The line about “speaking the truth” really stands out—sometimes we hold back out of fear, but when we do speak up, even if it\'s just for our own peace of mind, we’re still making an impact.

No one should ever be afraid to express their own opinion out of fear of others not agreeing with them. We are all different, no two people are the same. This is a fine composition Tobani. Well done.

In thought this poem is meta in that it voices its own opinion within a poem about that very subject. Very nicely stated and expressed in great meter

Beautiful poem… I’ve been tinkering with one on the same topic/theme… but it isn’t ready yet. To have an opinion without being opinionated is quite a challenge at times. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊

Sounds like a dramatic life style that comes to a horrible end. He who lives by the sword dies by the sword. Well written

Choices we make take us to where we are today and this may not be where we wanted to be. Bad choices bad results. Great write well written with good rhyme

Thank you for your feedback, it was quite rare back then, but today i should think it is very common.

So sad so sorry. We all probably have someone we know that got swallowed up whole by The Trap! Very meaningful if somewhat painful as well. Superb read 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊

Cheeky Missy said:

You half wonder when she\'ll finally comprehend that the exterior trimmings don\'t truly add the beauty she imagined. Then again, there\'s the Kardashians who admit they wear cosmetics to hide themselves, as my close friend does likewise, where, crazily enough, I literally cannot tolerate my face if it\'s hidden by cosmetics. You could ask my friend if you wondered, since she had no sooner complimented me to high heaven over the \"French girl\" style of making up the face (which my late mother had carefully trained me to do), but I shortly washed my face clean, unable to tolerate my face thus \"hidden,\" or as I termed it, no longer my own face. You also remind me of a discussion on this topic years ago with one of my brothers who was disappointed when I listed off the multitudinous means my sex uses to \"enhance\" itself, or rather, attempt to deceive the opposite. Enough of that, however. Beautifully rendered with awesome imagery and a tastefully haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

Wonderful poem. Society paints an image for everyone to aspire to live up to and, then, tragically so many buy into it and spend their lives trying to live up to an unrealistic image. Years of anxiety, eating disorders, expensive procedures, hours of makeup prep...and for what? Oh, and we men fall into it too, just differently. This poem\'s message is so important and you are right, true beauty comes from within. Well done. 🌹👏

A wonderful and powerful message set in great metaphor all too real. I too have asked why what we are is never good enough. Why do we want to be someone else? Is it possible that someone else wants to be us? Poor self esteem runs rampant.
