Fascinating. I know your own body will cast shadows, but didn\'t realize this. Thank you! Charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy tinged with a touch of humor.

๐Ÿ’ฏ Truth. Over you, behind you, around you...and you will be blind, like a deer staring at an on coming 18-wheeler. I will heed the advice offered in the poem, as I have been intent on doing my whole life! Well done, my dear friend. More wisdom from Tobani! ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

A great play on words and metaphor as well. You may have to be careful of where you will cast a shadow and how dark it may become. Short but well said.

Insanity could be within us all Tobani but only we alone may know it.

Reminded me a little of NF\'s rap flows. And old Zen stories, like a wannabe student climbing a mountain to see the teacher, then the teacher proceeds to throw rocks at, punch and kick the poor guy off the mountain. Great work.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Wow, Iโ€™m honored, my friendโ€”truly. You didnโ€™t โ€œnickโ€ a thing; this is transformation and a hauntingly beautiful one at that. The title alone, let alone the whole poem, carries such raw energy and honest vulnerability. Again, I am honored and humbled and glad you carried the dialogue forward in this poetic expression.๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆ‡

Cheeky Missy said:

Having meant since your posting this to comment, perhaps now shall suffice. The language utilized effective in communicating the situation, there\'s little need for an apology, your French seems in good working order. While in truth I\'ve no leg to stand on in making this argument, yet seems to me there\'s no parent who can avoid facing the tremendous responsibility in their lap when forced to raise another person to adulthood successfully, which seems would logically also drive the angst and irritation when finding themselves frustrated in achieving success. It was never acceptable to punish another for your own problems, however we do it all the time. There. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a painfully haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Whether tongue-in-cheek or very truth, the none too subtle note of humor lacing this most serious discussion adds flavour. Charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a seriously haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

hello
These stanzas and their rich metaphors are gifts from the wise seeing pen. Sometimes these chattering voices are like the morning birds, they have to sing while they can, sing while you may! I enjoyed the reflections, greetings and blessings

Ah, but insanity to some is creativity to others. Nicely done Tobani. I enjoyed the meter and the rhyme. But mostly, the encouragement to review my own case files. Thanks for sharing.

sorenbarrett said:

Is it not more insane to tell a person that they are insane because they are comfortable the way they are? Why do we give the majority the right to label the minority as insane. As Thomas Sazz says mental illness is what we call people that cause us discomfort that there is no law against. The continual use of the same rhyme at the end of each line emphasized the feel of obsession seen in many mental illnesses. Very nicely penned

I wrote in my poem, \"Frozen Solid\", \"Failing to being a winner / and winning at being a failure\". I am not one to quote myself too often ๐Ÿ˜‚, but the ending reminded me of that line. Such a relatable poem, this gets a fave from me, my friend. Well done on this. Love the form too.

How I am two days behind reading my regular dose of Wisdom from Tobani is beyond me, but I am. I am sorry for the delay, but it was well timed! I always enjoy these. Please feel free to keep them coming if and as the muse keeps directing! No complaints here. Well done, friend! Much enjoyed! ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

Language is nothing to apologize for when well used! And, my friend, you certainly have well used it here. I read this when you published it and thought I had commented on it, but evidently not! My deepest apologies for the extremely delayed engagement my friend! Hope your weekend rocked! ๐ŸŒน

Very nicely said in most poetic form that we are what we tell ourselves that we are. The mind is most powerful and what we believe it makes come true. Very nicely written Tobani

You\'re too fun herein, though. Dinna leave off, it\'s all too good. I love it. Little bits of good sense concluding with a hilarious finale are too good. Beautifully rendered with a tasteful bit of imagery and haunting poignancy. Thank you, thank you for sharing.
