Sometimes the smile says it all.
I\'m still here, still moving on.
Would love to chat, but I\'ve got better things to do with my time.

For me this can be taken several ways.I see a troubled relationship where the female is willing to play teh power game.The author however is not so fake.It can be a metaphor for toxic Love.Enjoyed reading.Made me think

Waiting for Silence said:
It calls out pull towards power, but also shows a quiet confidence in choosing your own path. Well written. Nice

Well written. Your poem examines the relationships between individuals who are near those in power, highlighting the superficial nature of their interactions. It questions the value of seeking approval from authority figures and emphasizes the importance of remaining true to oneself.

Powerful write Tristan. It is the weak, those that are in proximity to power and also need to belong. To be something bigger than themselves. Just my interpretation.

If I remember right he had his head on some rocks before that dream. Anticipation works for children why not for adults when they expect to catch the droppings of the powerful. Indeed proximity to power does turn one into a wallflower out of fear of ruffling feathers. A most interesting write my friend

There’s a quiet strength in this—no bitterness, just someone walking forward without asking for acknowledgment.
Feels like closure earned the hard way… a steady grace that doesn’t need permission to keep moving.

A poem of recognition without acknowledgement it leaves a cold feel and then the response that one is getting beyond that. Moving on is the thing to do.

A powerful poem for me, been there. Your poem revolves around an encounter with someone from the past, emphasizing feelings of rejection, the weight of unspoken words, and the liberation that comes from self-acceptance and resilience.

Well said. Your poem explores the idea that true freedom in Christ cannot be achieved by coercive or manipulative means in the context of religious conversion.

Forcing a square peg into a round hole is never advisable. Trying to make a sober man out of an unwilling drunkard does not work. Forcing the mind even by sword is a false conversion. Well written Tristan

Clever in metaphor and wording it is a satirical recipe for a food that I am allergic to and can\'t stomach. It makes me ill (not the poem the recipe) A fave my friend

This was hard for me today. I am going to try! Your poem \"Cancel culture casserole\" explores cancel culture as a form of social oppression. The poet uses the metaphor of cooking to illustrate how misinformation and suppression of dissenting opinions create a toxic societal environment.
