Such a strong poem Tobani. I just cannot understand why people treat children like this.

Just a Waste of F------ Time
Friendship said:
your poem \"Just a Waste of F--king Time\" explores themes of self-worth, abuse, and the psychological impact of being belittled and dehumanized. The speaker grapples with feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness, stemming from the harsh treatment they receive from an authority figure, likely a parent or caretaker. The repetition of \"waste of f-- king time\" emphasizes the speaker\'s internalized belief that they are undeserving of love and respect.I am so sorry ,but you need to move on ,I could never understand why anyone do this their child.

The irony of what people say and do never ceases to amaze me. Being a scape goat does not make one a goat, unless one is a G.O.A.T. A touching write that shows that people use their own disabilities to create further disabilities in others. Tough read

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Yesss! I love the fire in your childhood self and this describes a real life scene I was invovled in where I had to stand up to a bully. The result, the same...not the same exact action, mine a punch to the face...but the laying on the ground and not feeling so big and tough...yup. And bully no longer bullied me anymore. Only that particular one stopped, of course, and there were times I lost and/or was beat up by groups of kids. But in that one instance, I moved like a butterfly and stung like a bee. Well done on this, Nataiella. Thank you for posting this throwback and for its message. A fave from me.

Standing up to a bully is more important than winning but winning helps. A good write my friend.

Superb. Beautifully rendered in poignant brevity, how very haunting and thought-provoking. One of my brothers used to say folk were most honest when furious, but I dunno. Thank you for sharing.

The Voices Have Gone
Cheeky Missy said:
There\'s a subtle note of humor which I suppose is called sarcasm, but I prefer the chuckle you gave me. Fascinating reality delineated. Perhaps you\'d like my tinnitus for style? It drives me and has long, long driven me to keep music and other recordings perpetually in the background to distract me from the constant tinny whine. Gorgeously rendered with excellent imagery and a fitly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Damned with stars in their eyes, why, oh why are the Asians the ones whose music videos I\'ve seen detailing this painful reality as if it\'s no secret? Kit Marlowe\'s Dr. Faustus was the original from which I\'ve never fully recovered, and oh! How eloquently you wax herein, rendering the ghastly facts to effect in disarming style, complete with excellent imagery and a biting, macabre poignancy. Awesome! I love it. Thank you, thank you for sharing.

Goldfinch60 said:
Those demons are thoughts that you have when you worry about things, sometime you come to a place where you have no worries and then you worry about having no worries. Life is strange but we can all move on in the knowledge that life will be good and waiting for us all to enjoy.
Fine words Tobani.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow. Profound, vulnerable, raw, honest...and wise. Of course, coming from the author of the \"Wise Man Say\" series, that is not a surprise. Indeed. I believe we all hear voices...though not in the sense you are presenting here. Still, I can relate to this in a lot of ways. Truthfully, that is the hard thing about psych meds, whether it be for depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, or whatever, there\'s piece of \"you\" that goes away with the struggle or the \"voices\" or whatever is being \"treated.\" Some drugs more than others, but that is why it is so challenging for a lot of people to stay on their medication. I have found myself there in that struggle. Well done on this, my friend. A much needed write, Nataiella. Thank you for sharing! 🖤🕯️🧠🌫️🤍

When we grow accustomed to something no matter what we miss it. A most interesting poem of defining what is normal as opposed to what is good. And then we must ask good for who. Nicely done Tobani
