Tristan, you\'ve asked a great question.
And don\'t forget all the people who\'ve helped you along the way!

I am totally with you on this one and it is not as simple as think positive and good things come your way, life just is not like that. Most bullies are cowards as they only pick on the weakest, and i learn`t over the years it is not a personal thing, they are attracted to those they perceive to be week or are jealous of, but inside probably have more fears and insecurities than the person they are bullying. It is not the victim who is weak it is the bully and sadly there have always been and will always be bullies in the world and that bullying will come in many guises. If you have been on the end of bullying it is not a simple issue to resolve and can have devasting effects. Powerful, poignant and sad write, but points well made

If I were you Tristan, I wouldn’t take it personally .. I reckon you just hit both on a fact of life and a sad sign of our times .. You just happened to articulate the fact so eloquently and wrap it in a poem mate .. Neville

Your poem hits hard Tristan. I felt much pain and frustration in your words. To feel as though you want no one around you, must be pretty dreadful. I hope this isn’t about you my friend. Speaks to me of mental health problems, but without doubt there are are uncaring people out there, but also many who have hearts of gold. You just have to find them. All the best dear poet.

Dark as dark can be with some quite alarming imagery. Your poem certainly paints the blackest picture here Tristan. Plenty of metaphors to bite on. A fine write, as always from your inspired pen.

Welcome, sadly, to facts and the uglier face of aka reality. Were I to quip, \"I hate to break it to ya, but--\" it\'d be unforgivable. While this pretty, sordid little number can\'t help but resonate with most of humanity, yet alas, how shall I say it? \"...God is love--\" and man seems to illustrate the exact opposite. Beautifully rendered with superb imagery and a painfully haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Hang in there, please?

It is a hardwired fact that humans are cruel as well as kind. Cowardly as well as brave and like flies bullies are attracted to cowards and flee from the brave. A wonderful write

People are people, in that same way. In the same breath, what you put out is what you receive. Take people at face value and turn to go on your way. Harbor no ill will and you will find. You your life is better. To this take heed, when looking at life. If all you see is negativity, that is what you find. Change your perspective and change your life.

There\'s nothing like secondhand smoke, they say, and the image sinister, how eerily the lines daintily tread the page down, down, down to a haunting end, their poignancy rampant. Thank you for sharing.

Ah metaphor deeply planted in this poem. There may be many interpretations but the first one that took me was passion that never matured to love and was still born. Reluctant to release such a relationship it continues venomous and is second hand smoke. A wonderful write worth a fave.

Anxiety
I guess you’re
Always gonna get me
Until this entity
I believe to be me
Is extinguished!
I never heard the word “xanthic” before! Is it from Greek?
Anxiety - surely one of our greatest tests?
Interesting write, Tristan.

Grrr! lol. I was unsure of \'xanthic\' meaning. When I tried to look it up, it requested a dictionary subscription - money-grabbers!

So true, just when you think it cannot get any worse in your head, someone comes along with another lorry load of crap to dump on you. Hit a cord and will do with many, great write

I has to navigate both the interstate and lesser roads with the same characters mentioned above harassing me endlessly, as well as life and after that don\'t know what to tell you. Fascinatingly rendered with excellent imagery and heartbreaking poignancy, thank you for sharing. Hang in there for me, please.

Indeed the world keeps turning. A great write telling us in our arrogance and disregard that we are nothing but dust and it will keep going regardless or in spite of us. Nicely said

Doesn\'t sound like someone enjoys flying, at this rate. Fascinating and rather intriguing, beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

A very beautiful write and although filled with wonderful imagery, i found it quite touching and haunting as i get the vision of someone slowly drowning, he and all being reclaimed. Very enjoyable read
