Stabbed with the Anxiety Blade
Mutley Ravishes said:
Been in that war a long time! Lately I`ve been inspired by the idea the \"your faith is your fortune,\" (not in some external deity). Great write.

“He Moves While You Can’t”
Friendship said:
Wow, a very heavy story, yet so sad. Your story delves into the visceral experience of fear, helplessness, and suffering. It presents an unsettling scenario where the speaker is confronted by a dark entity that embodies their trauma, emphasizing the physical and emotional scars left behind.

I want to go home
Allie561 said:
It’s hard when the place that’s supposed to be safe, isn’t. Hard to call your house a home when it doesn’t feel like one. I hope it comes to you soon.

Change is good
sorenbarrett said:
This poem reveals a truth about change. Most of us fear and dread it but it is inevitable and must be accepted. The best way is to look at its good qualities and that is what this poem does. Nicely focusing on the positive it makes it much more palatable. Well done

IM AN ADDICT
Mutley Ravishes said:
Great write. It helped me to admit to what was going on, too. Then I found I needed to step even beyond that.

This poem is raw and feels real like a confession where one confesses first to themself before they can admit it to someone else. It is a lovely write

The Price of Oxygen
sorenbarrett said:
A powerful write that identifies a social injustice. I remember when water was free in a public fountain but now we pay two dollars a bottle in a convenience store and more if you want a fancy bottle. All due to capitalism that does not favor the poor. Communism doesn\'t work due to corruption and power issues and as long as people increase in number the situation will only get worse. Soon we all will be paying for air. Who lives and who dies determined by insurance companies and the ruler of all the government the ultimate executioner. Well written and a fave

“I Want Love, Not Just Sex\"
sorenbarrett said:
In a throw away fast food world this poem asks for a return to repair and home cooking a retro world where passion is the dessert after you have eaten your meal of love. Nicely written it makes good sense but goes against the current of society where relationships are changed as often as the sheets.

Let Him Play With Dolls
Allie561 said:
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

Let Him Play With Dolls
sorenbarrett said:
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.

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
