nev, this is painfully observant. The domestic details, the historical echo, and that final naming of “this isn’t normal” all converge with quiet force. It doesn’t shout, it witnesses…and that makes it powerful. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Changes are noticed time seems to stop and it is only then that we realize that things are not normal. Well written

Barometric Weather
Tristan Robert Lange said:
nev, this is sharply observed and deeply uncomfortable in the best way. The storm becomes a shared atmosphere rather than an event, and the quiet injustice of who gets told to endure it lands hard. Powerful, necessary work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A sense of uneasiness rests in this poem with feelings of upcoming storms but no guarantee. A most uneasy piece.

This has proven so sometimes, and perhaps other times I\'ve chosen to forget...

Instructions I Never Follow
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Nev, this is quietly brutal. Potential as accusation, certainty as permission that never arrives…naming a paralysis born not of fear, but of awareness. It doesn’t console, and it shouldn’t. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Like hesitating just before the jump - it\'s not the jump that\'s the problem, it\'s the launching that hinders. Powerful and resonanr 🕊️🙏

This poem speaks to the procrastination of finding disappointment and joy, the postponement of finding who you really are not what you fantasize. It is a birth that is never delivered. Fear is a formidable foe and it is born of the unknown. It has claws that dig deep and hold tight and a tearing beak with teeth to devore us. Break free.

The Space That Stayed
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Nev, this is restrained and deeply human. Absence, habit, anger, and endurance move together until love becomes something carried rather than felt. The poem doesn’t ask for absolution…it tells the truth. Grief is a powerful, necessary process...and you handle it here so well. Powerful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Grief is complex with several layers and varies from individual to individual. Very nicely written

Gravity Lesson
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Nev, this is raw and exacting. Desire as gravity, restraint as injury, and memory as the wound that never quite heals. You captured the cost of not letting go with frightening clarity. Very well done and a fave!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

All those roads we never take and those destinations we will never know, some good and some bad. The unknown it the hardest part. Well done

Friendship said:
Well written, your poem revolves around the struggles of self-identity, the pressure of external expectations, and the emotional toll of conditional love. The poet grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the desire for validation as they navigate the complexities of relationships, particularly with someone important in their life. The poet focuses on the internal dialogue of a person who feels they must constantly perform, adjust, and rehearse their interactions to avoid disappointment and earn love.

What We Keep

can really relate to this. always thought the adults knew what they were doing, until i became an adult and felt like i was playing dress up in my mother\'s shoes. and definitely had a few people stolen away without warning.
but you\'re completely right, it humbles you and allows you to grow, and strength is found in unexpected places.
thank you so much for sharing, really spoke to me here!
