How Does it Feel?.
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Wow! A powerful poem, Natiella! You and I clearly had the same way of processing the shit we dealt with at school. Glad for it too. This one hit home for me, being someone who was brutally bullied. Thank you for sharing. 🌹👏

People most usually judge by appearances so we find it most useful to look the part on the surface level. Sad truth🕊️🙏🏻

A broken heart can only be seen through its symptoms of tears, lethargy and facial features. Like a fever revealing an infection it needs attention. An excellent metaphor and nicely written.

A first person account of bullying on the receiving side and its effects speaks rawly in poetic form. Very nice

How Does it Feel?.
arqios said:

The wounds once sharp
now dull— not vanished,
but understood.
Strength came slow,
beneath each bruise,
in the silence where
fear could not last.
You sought power in fists—
I found it in walking away.

Look In The Eye.
Cheeky Missy said:

Where in the world do you get these?! My la! How perfectly horrifying, macabre, ghastly, nightmarish! There\'s no hope of deliverance since the mirror is guilty, no human. Goodnight! What a chilling piece for Monday. Superbly rendered with excellent imagery and a terrifying poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Look In The Eye.
MDStone said:

I thought I recognized that man. That familiar old cynical smile. That judgmental stare. Nicely done, PL. I really “reflected” on this one.

Look In The Eye.
sorenbarrett said:

I always love the unexpected, this added the metaphor to give it double strength and power. To spice it up some rhyme and near rhyme, a dramatic setting and what more could you want? I love how well woven the metaphor is. That of self destruction that has no mercy. A definite fave

Look In The Eye.
arqios said:

That last one is a mystery! 🤣 Round 11 rocked, my friend. Can\'t wait for round 12. And yes, honesty is not always the best policy. 🤣 Well done, my friend. The sun is rockin\' here today, so will do. Hope you enjoy the day as well. 🌹👏

What a fun read, Tobani! Yet filled with absolute wisdom. I can’t help but feel some gathered by the experience of the “hard way.” I know for me they were.

A Caring Smile.
Cheeky Missy said:

Very, very lovely and rather inspiring, a very pretty little number I\'m certain the purveyors of knicknacks should put and grave on all. Charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a rather tender poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.
