This feels painfully real — like someone trying to stay strong while quietly drowning in disappointment and detachment.

Here the progression of maturing and becoming an adult whatever that is. It carries with it a bit of satire as one is allowed sex then alcohol and finally the ability to kill one\'s fellow men. What a sad situation it is.

Get that cannon fodder off to war before it has a chance to experience and interpret the richness and complexity of life. Just the right tail/tale, Tristan.

Was it Vietnam where the average age was nineteen.
Some say youth is wasted on the young, but no one hesitates to send them to war before they can take a drink it seems.
REMEMBER. Your country needs you. Seems ironic doesn\'t it.

Well written. Your poem addresses themes of youth, maturity, and the innocence of childhood juxtaposed with the perceived freedoms and responsibilities of adulthood. The poet expresses both eagerness and reluctance to embrace adulthood, highlighting the conflicting feelings that often accompany this rite of passage.

Speaks so much truth Tristan. I think it’s always been this way; rose colored glasses though tend to slip a little later in one’s life at times. Well written Tristan

Feels stripped down to the bone—no hiding, just what’s left when everything else falls away.
There’s a stark honesty in it, like a man standing in the mirror with nowhere to look but in.

What a profound impact you make! You shine brighter than any question in my mind, for your presence in my life is a treasure. Living next door to you would be a dream come true, but even from afar, your friendship illuminates my world. I\'m thankful to have you by my side and to call you my friend. I wish we could share moments in person, but even though we meet as kindred spirits online, our bond remains strong. Though I don\'t see you, your existence radiates warmth, and I appreciate how you show up authentically on this site. Your presence is a gift, and I\'m grateful that you never leave me wondering; you\'re always there. Your artistic talents, both in drawing and writing, inspire me to create and dream bigger. ❤️🌹❤️

They stopped asking, so you asked yourself. The bowl, the cloud, the lost direction- you name it all without flinching. Then that turn - \" Still better positioned to think and show. \" You\'re not a victim here. You\'re a witness. \"This is how i roll\" isn\'t surrender. It\'s sovereignty. Nicely written dearest Tittu ❤️ a fave 🌹

a remnant\'s prayer
Salvia.S said:
This poem does what real prayers do: it doesn’t ask to be fixed, it asks to be seen. The way you split “guilt- free” makes me feel the cut in real time, and by the time we get to “am i this tree?” the metaphor stops being a metaphor. You’re not describing the stump. You
are it — rooted, exposed, still here after the forest is gone. That last “Lord, have mercy” lands different from the first one. It’s not ritual anymore. It’s recognition. Thank you for writing something this honest, dearest Tittu ❤️ a fave 🌹

lovely written, your poem involves introspection on guilt, the human condition, and a connection to nature, represented by the forested tree and the plea for mercy.
