I'll never understand

Poetic Dan

After 800 plus plus rhymes this will be the first where I don't hold back, as from 4am this morning one wrong move was going to start an attack!

I don't know why I do it! Like a thrill to survive or just a reminder all my life I've been told by someone to get out their space or die!

For 2 hours straight and maybe for the next 72, I've been told I'm not welcome and definitely feeling it too. I try to breathe through it all but sometimes I know I'm going to explode, then I find myself in tears because the anger brings on painful stomach episodes.

In my head this was going to be full of F's & C's but I love that when I write then I'm rid of that disgusting habit, where don't get me wrong I still love to "swear" because a word is just a word.
Without actions or memories, they'd be like birds delightfully chirping.

Right now I think I've had about 3 hours sleep it may only be 7.30am but in my reality, it's whatever I want it to be!

In the spirit of letting my emotions go, I think what I truly love is knowing what I know but not putting myself into others shadows.


Dogs are awesome and people are wonderful too but not always when you put them together do you get a reality that's true, we just concoct the stage around us with an imagination out of this world.


I don't think I'll ever understand if being human is a miracle or a curse!

    I feel your pain Dan,
    Sometimes I struggle with these feelings and emotions too,
    We're only human my friend,
    The incredible parts of life wouldn't be as incredible if we didn't have the struggle too,
    They would be just another part of our lives,
    When we have pain and sorrow, it only makes the good times that much better,
    We have the ability to appreciate obstacles that enter our paths, whether they are good or bad,
    God made us able to handle all situations that get thrown at us, He never gives us more than we can handle, we will bend and it will hurt, badly, but we will not break,
    Whatever you are going through my dear friend, there is a way through it to a peaceful and happy ending.
    Hang in there Dan, you got this!
    Thoughts and prayers are with you

      Every day we are never the same again. For better or worse in married to life game. Thank you my friend your support and kind words are truly appreciated. Much peace and respect

        I know, we can never go back and relive any certain moment or say something we should have or not should have,
        See Dan, it's the beauty of it, life is a gamble on right and wrong, and we never know which way our life is going to go or where we will end up,
        I am fully confident that you will work things out and be great again , live with no regrets my friend,
        Whatever happens will change u as a man a husband and a father for the better , I know it doesn't seem like it now, but it will, trust in God and have faith my friend

        Great to see you writing Dan
        Always emotional
        Always real
        Maybe the answer is a miracle curse
        Though provoking and genuine
        Dan the man

        • Poetic Dan

          Lol yes I am a cursed miracle, forever looking for a cure but the joke is there's only one way out and no way back!
          Always appreciate your time my friend

          It’s both. I like how you were brave enough to admit the current reality and however shitty it is now I believe you could reach for optimistic view as yiu seem balanced and thoughtful and smart enough to know there is some risk but that Also means the pksn could work perfect next time.

          • Poetic Dan

            Bobby o Bobby you hit the nail on the head yesterday's reality is different from today's and each "next time" move I make brings a mixture of dark and light but at least I now see a glimpse I can work with!

              Maxine, that's the word I could not find yesterday profanity! It's funny I think that word sounds delightful... maybe because it rhymes with cup of tea! Like would you like so nice warm profanity or do you like it cold and bitter lol
              Yes the spirit of my grandmother cleans my mouth with soap daily... I nearly got 6 hours and slowly feel my sanity returning as much as it was there before!
              Always appreciate your time

              Well, you are welcome in my space any time man. This is a little like an wicked incantation, a desperate soliloquy, and a lecture. It's quite real, a little scary, and yet lovely and hopeful.

              • Poetic Dan

                My friend thank you so much from the moment I read your words I felt a wave come over me and even echoes in my head to help me sleep! Really appreciate your time and the new word...soliloquy

              • Teddy.15

                Your incredible courage even to write this and share is a miracle, there are many many moments where I've felt this way (get out the way or die) such a powerful line and I know not an exaggeration to how you feel. But to be here to be human is a miracle sometimes we are chosen to have this type life because we are that strong even if we do not know it at the time. Any disability is a fortress yet some have it even worse. I stand beside you my darling Dan. πŸ’– may you sleep better tonight. The world is a cruel place for all right now. πŸ’–

                  My friend just like others on here your words are so powerful and as I struggled to find my comfort at night, there was a stream of compassion running through my brain that before I knew morning had arrived! Truly grateful for your precious time

                • Goldfinch60

                  You have moved on a long way in your life Dan, some things still come back and haunt you but you now have the ability to move on into the new life that you have created.

                    Thank you kindly my friend

                    'I think what I truly love
                    is knowing what I know
                    but not
                    putting myself into others shadows.'
                    I truly relate, I aspire for that same
                    sliver of wisdom my friend
                    patience, such a humbling
                    yet essential skill in our lives..
                    whoever teaches it to us

                    • Poetic Dan

                      Ha... that line has not left my head from when it first came around and I am truly for a break from teaching and just relax into doing my own thing.
