Pleasing Everyone Else
sorenbarrett said:

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.

Pleasing Everyone Else
arqios said:

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. 🕊🙏🏻

So very true Tobani, children should always be protected, love and encouraged in their lives. I cannot ever understand why people can hurt children!

Children Have Rights.
Tristan Robert Lange said:

This is so true, Tobani. No child asked to be born and those who have children owe them provisions, love and care. A bold, passionate, and needed write. Well done! 🌹👏

Haha, that’s excellent… I was the product of a loving quickie, would you believe… but that’s a whole other story… I hope everyone understands that each human wherever they’re at in the life cycle has rights. Good stuff here🙏🏻🕊

sorenbarrett said:

A most noble write Tobani one that I can sense you feel strongly about. Children are deeply dependent on their parents for survival and learning and they didn\'t ask to be here so it does behoove those that made that decision willingly or not to provide for them. Nicely said

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

Mutley Ravishes said:

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, I’m honored, my friend—truly. You didn’t “nick” 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.🖤🙏🕯️🦇

Cheeky Missy said:

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.

MDStone said:

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.

On the Road To Insanity.
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

Tristan Robert Lange said:

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 😂, 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.

sorenbarrett said:

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
