Let Him Play With Dolls

A wonderful representation of how stereotypes can ruin amazing things. I stumbled across a video yesterday that relates to your poem if you want to give it a watch. For me personally, I was more interested in catching frogs and lizards than playing with a dollhouse. My boy cousin would always play Barbies and dress up with my sister. We both turned out fine (Or so it seems 😆) This is the link to the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ePlriYalzPY

My parents deeply conservative allowed me a doll As a young toddler. I gave it up on my own but as an older brother was convinced by my sister to play dolls with her and cook on her play stove. She played our sword battles and gun fights it was never discouraged by these deeply conservative parents and it was childhood that we too soon grew out of. A lovely poem of admonishment that should not be needed.

I Just Don’t Have the Fight in Me Anymore

There comes a point where one is so used to fighting that it becomes habit and just life itself. \"Rage against the light\" nicely written

Relate immensely especially at this point in time. Rich, vivid images. This illness is devastating. Don\'t ever let it win. Fight. Breathe. Inhale.

Trust You, Why Don’t I Just Trust You
sorenbarrett said:
Trust the theme of this poem where the narrator has experienced violation after violation and trust is difficult to attain. The proof is in the pudding. Trust only comes after it is earned there is no advance payment. Nicely written

I’m The Fae They Warned You About

There is excitement in loving such a soul but there is pain as well it is a roller coaster ride of push and pull, never close enough but fearing engulfment pushing away. Madness personified. Well written

Keep your head up. Once all the vain ones pass, a real one will step out of the shadows. Weight is a number, but your value is priceless .

Your poem resonated deeply with me, touching a chord in my heart. I vividly feel and see the pain you\'ve conveyed. Though I don\'t share your exact experiences, I understand the emotional weight. The harsh words of others can leave lasting impressions, far more profound than their fleeting glances. You\'re right; people\'s words can be cruelly thoughtless, often overlooking the beauty of our true selves. I\'ve walked a similar path, particularly with someone I considered a lifelong friend, who publicly shamed me. Their hurtful actions, compounded by the opinions of others, have lingered. Who gave me the power to let their words define my self-worth? For over 20 years, I\'ve grappled with the weight of low self-esteem. It\'s a burden that\'s hard to shake once it takes hold. Rather than investing in external remedies, I urge you to tap into your inner resilience. Rediscover the joy that once brought you happiness. Take small steps daily towards healing and self-love. Ignore the naysayers and focus on your growth. When you find happiness within, it will surround you. Self-love is the key to attracting love and positivity. Never surrender your power to others. I commend your bravery in sharing your story; you\'re a beacon of strength. Don\'t be ashamed – you have every right to speak out. Trust yourself and your inner voice, for it\'s the wisest guide.

This seems a poem reworked from yesterday it speaks of having to accept one\'s weight as is and that others won\'t. It speaks of a desire for passion that never finds its way. A sad poem of desire never found. Well written

Sad and tragic a poem of pain and powerlessness in the face of a stronger force. Where no is not respected an injustice goes uncorrected. There is a strong feel of defiance and anger in this poem. Nicely written
