Good write Fay, the rain can wash away the ills that are out there so bring a new dawn to a wonderful new day.

Thanks for sharing FAY : Nice picture and MANTRA ! The scent of YESTERDAY can leave a biiter / sweet taste in ones nostrils. Life is never just black or just white : it is always 50 shades of grey ! I (ANGELA) can recall over 30 years of yesterdays GOOD & BAD ! Sometimes I wish I could forget them ALL (Except BRIAN !) ; and wake up to a brand-new world !
Blessings & Joy & Love

We\'ve all experienced those smelly yesterday\'s
And wish they would stay there
But today is another day
Let\'s see what we have here.
And yes, are we ready though.
Nicely done Fay

Your first line made me laugh out loud - a smelly yesterday indeed!
Well it\'s all there, the horrible mixed up feelings of upset, anger, worry, wondering what ifs and maybes.
\'Are we though ready\' is a wonderful concluding line for it makes your reader re evaluate all their thought gathered whilst reading.
I sense a quite different style from you in this piece. Maybe it\'s the first person stance, I\'m unsure, but i cant put my finger on it.
Mind you who am i to mention style, my style is a hotch potch of however i\'m feeling if i managed to keep my breakfast down.

SELFHOOD.
Gary Edward Geraci said:
The “selfhood” caged by addiction Fay is the selfhood surrounded by iron bars. Indeed many crave for liberation yet replace one vice with another. A priest today spoke to the congregation of a woman giving up smoking only to fill the hole with the consumption of junk food - his point - Judas Iscariot was replaced by something better - the Apostle Matthias. For sanity’s sake may selfhood seek Selfhood.

Thanks for sharing FAY ! SELF WORTH & SELF RESPECT : for who and what we are : are very important @ all stages of our lives ! When we are TEENS we struggle to establish our Unique Identity ! However we become Fetishes of fashion ~ Members of Movements and Slaves of Social Order (Verses 1 & 2). We long to be released from their BONDAGE and freed from their SHACKLES (V 3). This is achieved by SELF-REALISATION (V 4) ! It is never too LATE (or too SOON) to realise and recognise and actualise that :
*I AM A UNIQUE PERSON* AMEN !
THANKS FOR BEING UNIQUELY YOU

One thing that comes with age is that you have nothing to prove and nothing to lose if you speak your mind. At last I am liberated. Yahoooo!

I needed this so much for a major fear of mine was faced today, for this exact reason.
Self-righteous was their last word as my \"self\" would not aline to their \"self\" even if sharing the same blood. I\'ve come to understand we are way more than that, thank again for how beautifully you worded this, helping to ease my mind!
Always appreciated

Thanks Fay for permission - I\'ll enjoy reading more ..... it takes years sometimes to stop living every one else\'s ideas of what one should be doing and it is so wonderful when you just let that all go. And of course we have to be ready for the disapproval that follows sometimes....

Sad tale of promise lost and promises broken. Love lost or... she is about to enter the most loving part of her life, a child in arms will attract the strongest love of all.
A sad story recounted here and is all to often a woman\'s tale.

IF YOU CANT BE GOOD BE CAREFUL
IF YIUR CANT BE CAREFUL
REMEMBER THE DATE & FACE !
GOOD EVENING FAY ~ BRIAN here. It happens and it is so so sad. You have a very fertile imagination (and female intuiton) in your poetic interpretation of the PHOTO ! In my experience I know of mnay Young Ladies who have been left holding the BABY. If it is an Accidental Pregnancy ~ MEN often opt fro ABORTION (£250 ?) and want to sweep the incident & the embryo under the carpet. But its different for the Lady especiaally if it is a long term (greater than five months) and she sees it as a living breathing BABY and wants to go full-term and then consider her OPTIONS. ANGELA agrees with Me on this ~ but it does not solve the problem. Its OK if she keeps the BABY or it is absorbed into the EXTENDED FAMILY as used to happen in the Early 1900\'s. But if I was a LADY I would opt for ADOPTON rather than ABORTION because I have always been PROLIFE ~ OK. Tthe PARADOX is that MEN cause PREGNANCY but never ever get PREGNANT ! Your final verse made me weep for the hunreds of Lovely Ladies hwo face a similar dillema this month !
Blessings & Peace & Joy & Love
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
