Don\'t scare me like that my old heart can\'t take it. This poem seems a recognition of the death of an old self and the birth of a new one that now bids farewell to the old ( grieving? mourns? but bids adieu at any rate) this in one sense is a common phenomena of growth in all of us. Onion eyes, each layer a layer of growth, Knowledge comes with pain that innocence that was once bliss has turned to an adult view of tragedy and how one might weep and wish to return to childhood and its simple joys and fantasies but the genie it is out of the bottle, Pandora\'s box has been opened and these things can not be returned to how they were. Well done Tristan

Wow.What a compelling piece! Your poem transported me to the room where you lay in bed; your performance was captivating. Kudos to your remarkable writing skills. The poem explores the complex relationship between the poet and their former self, highlighting themes of self-acceptance, loss, and the struggle to relinquish past identities. It conveys a sense of mourning for the self that once was, while also suggesting hope for healing and transformation. Yet the Poet\'s introspection regarding their past identity, the emotional turmoil experienced due to self-hatred, and the realization that to move forward, they must confront and release their former self. The poem captures the pain of loss, both of self-love and the innocence of youth.

Controlled mockery evident here, Tristan – delivered with wit and humour.
Excoriating and thus enjoyable take down of the nuclear family. Your view, I gather, is that as a unit of socialization it’s basically stuffed; a view I share. You have my vote unreservedly.

Have you seen some of the women out there, metal bar eaters.
Some of the guys, father would turn in his grave as Brutus declares himself, Miss Brutus.
Daddy\'s must pray now that junior makes it through puberty without mentioning. Asexual, Bisexual, Pansexual, and the other 20 that go along with them.

I love satire and this is a good one. Tristan you have encapsulated a salesman\'s approach in this poem of changing culture and what we now see as antiquated and unjust past values for the implication that we have evolved to better and more just values. So I would hope and time will tell. A wonderful and most creative write.

Lovely written, my friend. Your poem addresses the roles of a mother, daughter, and son in a stereotypical family dynamic. It highlights the reductive view of women as homemakers and men as leaders, emphasizing the transactional nature of these relationships.

Friendship said:
Paul, I must say that it is a very powerful poem. I had to read it a couple of times because you were sending a direct message, yet it was confusing at first, but I think I got it. Not sure yet, but let me know. Have a great day, my friend. Your poem grapples with themes of gravity—both literal and metaphorical—using the concept of a vortex to symbolize forces that draw individuals in, reflecting the struggle between aspiration and obligation. The imagery of a halo turning into horns further conveys the complexity of identity, hinting at the duality of purity and corruption.

Good becomes evil we see it every day and what I was taught as virtuous American history I find repulsive today. The halo becomes horns. A wonderful write Tristan with such a good metaphor. Witch burning was once deemed righteous, stoning for blasphemy, Adams and Jefferson would have been hung for treason if they had lost. And today what yesterday was a joke today is politically incorrect and people are fired for it.

It felt like turning life on its head, us living with contradictions and paradoxes. But that’s probably just my at times neurodivergent way of thinking 🤔🙏🏻🕊️

Okay I\'m not having roots disturbing my death nap, bad enough in life people chapping your door selling you death insurance.
Quite fancy getting dumped in space floating for all eternity. Maybe start a business plan here.

Well said. The poet explores themes of mortality, the grotesque aspects of life, and the transformative power of nature. It suggests that even in death, life continues through decay, as the elements of nature—like roots and twigs—persist and intertwine.

It is all beauty in its own way and place. That, that grows springs from that, that rots. From petrification there is new life liberation. A most interesting poem Tristan Your first two lines caught my attention and felt so poetic in their unexpected contrast and beauty.

One out, all out....Sorry Tristan, I have passed the stage of sweating it,. At breakfast, I give the tranny atop my fridge a good old tongue lashing. as it pushes out the same old bollocks.

I hear you, been there on days the world seems overwhelming. Your poem centers around feelings of wanting to disappear and escape from the burdens of life. It expresses a desire for a reversal of existence and an end to suffering, highlighting the poet\'s intense emotional state. I hope this feels goes soon.
