How do you forgive someone After many years they taught you how to hate yourself ?

Forgiving is freeing oneself from the trap of anger and hate and it is so true it must begin with oneself. Very nicely said Friendship

I am who I am, and that is that.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Friendship, amen indeed. 🙏 What I enjoy most here is the confidence running through it. Not arrogance...just a clear acceptance of who you are and who you are not. The line about wearing your thoughts like open seams particularly stood out to me. Strong, honest write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a poem of one content with who one is and has no plans to change it or at least feels unable to do so. Well written my friend

It\'s my nature not to keep hate in my heart.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Friendship, I\'ve known that feeling of reaching for understanding and never quite finding it. Sometimes the unanswered \"why\" lingers longer than the hurt itself. This speaks to me, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A sad poem that speaks of forgiveness that is far different than trust. Well written with wonderful rhyme and flow it speaks of not having the nature to hold hate but that past experience has taught one not to trust. Well written

Suffering from bipolar depression, I can fully relate. Thank you for bringing mental health into poetry. I have found that creating poetry has been very cathartic.

Grief
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Friendship, this is heartbreaking, my friend. The grief here feels layered...not only the loss of a loved one, but the complicated emotions that arise when someone reappears after years of absence. There is a great deal of compassion and understanding woven into these lines. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Grief
Paul Bell said:
I think if its a short period of time, you might move on a bit quicker.
When someone is in your life for 47 years, and suddenly they\'re gone, that\'s a mammoth loss.
Some will say a day at a time does it.
Maybe that\'s true, but do they ever ask.

A poem that voices grief over the loss of a central pillar of strength relied on for so many years and the question of where one goes from there. The answer is strong and held in the last line of the poem \"And the pieces that belong, at last, to you.\" Very nicely written.

Your writing is so refreshing and goofy. It has a rhythm like a song. I really enjoyed this piece. I loved how you said the coffee sits cold and the sun slowly climbs up waking us up, it felt like I could read this to a kid, and I am sure the child would giggle and smile.

Oh gentle Jesus I can relate to this. So many times we try something and feel that feeling of \"why bother\".Negativity rules the world and the only hope is to hide in a cave with a small fire to keep warm.

Friendship, this really hit me hard. There is such exhaustion in these lines…not just creative exhaustion, but the weariness that comes from feeling constantly measured and judged. I, too, know this weariness. The emotion feels raw and honest throughout. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Friendship, this really touched me. There is such a deep sense of love for place woven through every stanza. Even with the sadness of change and distance, what shines through most is the enduring connection to home. Beautifully done, and beautiful photo. I could get lost in it, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aww, maybe just writers block for a while? But could be something deeper. I dry up at times with writing poems. Write away, as and when you feel a poem coming on. :)

This poem calls raw from the inner soul. It sets forth its message in good rhyme and meter flowing forth as an emptying of the vessel. It is a cry of exhaustion seeing past efforts as useless failures. Yet it so poetically expresses what it says is no longer there. Artists often do not see the value of their works and this is a good one. Very nicely written a fave
