I Can`t Hide It
Tristan Robert Lange said:

The question for me is, why hide it? Of course, there are reasons for doing so, but i have only ever found that hiding my anger makes me even more angry. All the same, brilliant expression my friend. Thought-provoking and worth a fave! πŸŒΉπŸ‘

All revealed in the final line. Anger is not a pleasant emotion to deal with it. Most people experience it at differing levels. Some can hide it, others not do. I like the way you led us down the garden path to find the solution. Have a good day Tobani.

I once read that when anger is purified it leads to clarity.
You kept me guessing what \"it\" is until the last line! Great write.

I love the way you have left the reveal until the very end it provokes that strong human drive of curiosity and pulls the reader through the poem. Very nicely done.

We none of us know what exactly shaped our neighbour until we hear it from them or read it in a newspaper .. What an excellent piece of literature encompassing a life and perfectly poemed, my good man .. Neville

Well done, Tobani! Thought-provoking, that makes me think of the old Heraclitus adage, \"You cannot step into the same river twice\". Change is always a reality...the only constant in a world of utter chaos. Wonderfully expressed. πŸŒΉπŸ‘

A lovely write Tobani. Has such an air of calm and peace about it. Dawn is a beautiful time of the day. My favourite quiet time. Have a beautiful Thursday.

Change the only constant. A most beautiful poem of how it happens not just over night but in the blink of an eye. Great metaphors used here and the wording is perfect for the mood.

An interesting account of someone who turned their life round for the better. Most enjoyable Tobani. He had a rotten start. All good wishes.

I had a cousin who was once a chief of wharfies, they had it rough, those blokes and lads. But hailing from an island, they always had provisions even when sailing and flying were canceled due to the weather and such.

Life of hard knocks. A great prodigal son type story that keeps the reader held by the story. Nicely done
