The Overflow
sorenbarrett said:
A poem that speaks of the power of emotion and its uncontrollable nature. Well worded it speaks to the reader of the irresistible urge that accompaniers it. A wonderful write.

The Overflow
Soman Ragavan said:
The very title is impressive : its is the overflow of emotions, of experiences rammed into us…
“The Stillness Between Notes...”
“until my silence
becomes sound....”
You have hit upon impactful words and expressions. It is the stillness between notes that add value to the notes. Otherwise it would be rambling sounds.
When silence becomes sound it is heard and felt by others.

The Day I Didn\'t Go Back

Good for you. You have an inner strength, or spirit, listen to it, follow it. Do not become a recluse. Get out into the world, make human contact. Find your passion, embrace it. Do the things you\'ve always wanted to do. Get some sunlight and fresh air. You now have the strength to engage with the world.
Your poetry is amazing; It is truth on paper. Pure poetry. Go fill your senses with the joys of the Earth. Find beauty and let it inspire you. - Phil A

Until It Hurts
MendedFences27 said:
I found this to be enthralling and real. Written with an honest passion, an introspective angle, and what I would call sheer courage. I will comment though that perhaps, \"Loving yourself,\" is not meant to be a selfish attitude, but more a perspective of remaining true to yourself. I loved some of your phrasings, \"holding my own hand through the fire,\" \"A stranger who finally stopped shapeshifting,\" \" not rescuing people who threw me in the water,\" and your final three lines. To sum up, I loved your poem and hope to read many more. - Phil A.

Being honest with oneself is the precursor to being able to change and to be able to love not just self but others. A sincere and honest write. Nicely done

There is a type of internal wisdom that grows with age and in this case about how to treat oneself and what to look for. Very nicely written

Some might call this poem feministic, some might call it finding oneself I call it humanistic a most lovely write spoken without anger but rather recognition, without hate but rather acceptance of self and its responsibility for past and present. So nice a tone in this poem it is a fave
