Omg this poem hit me deep, according to me it resembles a faint sense of living now as you feel tired from everything and its all boring and you just want to be out of this world, sometimes resorting to pain feels nice like you\'re free again... it hurts but feels like you\'e in control, still sinking in a place you dont desire to live, its honestly depressing and I love how you captured this beauty in words described so beautifully dude omg I relate to this poem frr, also if u ever wanna talk I\'m gunna be heor existing ik im like 16 and like really young but if u ever wanna be heard... I\'m here, these words are not fake okie

Great write, dear poet and friend. This one resonated deeply. Tick tock indeed. A reality for some of us, and an urgent message with a very memorable form and flow. Brilliant. 👏🌹

The power of this write comes in its format and meter. The use of two words in each line echoes the ticking of the clock which is further noted in the last lines of the stanzas. There is a feeling of time winding down. With its passage there are many dark things remembered until the last stanza where it is released and freedom attained as the clock stops, time is up. Very nicely done Tobani

Oh! The ecstasy of freedom, that inherent enthusiasm which grasps the day by its horns and flies. Alas, such charged moments and joys melt like Icarus\' wings in the blazing eye of heaven, is it? Wonderfully rendered with a heartening enthusiasm and excellent imagery. Thank you so very much for sharing. If only it had never dissipated.

Understood. I have been there. You think you\'ve finally figured things out, you\'ve \"healed\", \"moved past\", know how to cope, etc. Yet, you are not sure if you can really believe it has happened and, as your note points us to, it is indeed short lived. That has been my experience too. And yes, it is good while it lasts. For sure. Well done on this, my friend. So relatable. 🌹👏

Tobani, I certainly hope that it is real. What a wonderful write to inspire, encourage, and re-instill hope. The light that shines from these words will brighten the darkest days for those who read it. Thank you for sharing.

A turn from the dark to the light is felt in this poem. It is uplifting and hopeful. Good rhyme as well punctuates this piece. On a sea of waves sometimes we are in a trough and at others on a crest as the swells of life come and go. Enjoyed it

I have a philosophy in my life Tobani \"This is me, if you do not like what you see it is not my problem it is yours!\" It works for me and most people accept me as to what I am.

I\'ve struggled with this too. Fear is behind it. That hasn\'t stopped me feverishly trying to please myself too, though!

Yes, but at least multiple souls won\'t damn you like they do me: \"Jenny\'s time.\" When I can never seem to be anywhere except apparently on my own schedule, having fifty thousand things to do before I go anywhere. Oh yes, and dragging fifty thousand bags, leather totes and canvas, and Starbucks cold cups by the dozen along with me so they question me. Being your ownself is fun, but a damning proposition. Or so it seems to me; and yet I\'m too happy to be myself. But enough of that. Beautifully rendered with such a winsome poignancy and excellent imagery. Thank you so much for sharing.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
So true, my friend! So very true! Individually we are all unique and that is beautiful. When we collectively group together we give up some of that uniqueness for conformity. I, myself, have never been one to conform, even when I\'ve had to comply. Not in my nature. I think people avoid that because, from personal experience, not conforming comes at a social and sometimes even a vocational/financial cost. Still, being ME is priceless as I see it. So, I\'ve paid the cost! 🤣 Ultimately you are right, though, if you constantly live life worrying about what others think and conforming to their standards, you really are existing...not living. I choose LIFE over EXISTENCE. Well done, my friend. 🌹👏

Know oneself, be comfortable with oneself, be oneself is the process I see and this is reflected in this poem of spiritual freedom. Very well stated and nicely written.

Mistrusting and people pleasing are probably the first ailments that beset any infant child. It’s something so hard to cure and shake off, in my opinion. Glad you’ve taken up the topic in poem. 🕊🙏🏻
