Thank You.
The Voices are restless, and the uneasy clouds are gathering pace.
I know longer feel the outside world to be a safe space.
As many times before my world is turning very dark.
Hastily gathering the dreaded demons of the past.
I know from past experiences now is the time to take a break.
For peace and calm to resume I will just sit and wait.
It is hard to explain if you have never been there.
It's a world of pain, confusion and despair.
So, this uneducated man, writer of doom and gloom drivel
Is off to talk and dance again with the familiar devil.
I am feeling too vulnerable for my poetry to be told
As my insecurities return and again take hold
So, for the foreseeable future an interval will be in session.
No more sad but true words will I be openly confessing.
Returning back into the world I already know so well.
Until the demons and voices again I can repel.
Something about my poetry many kind words have been said.
I have truly appreciated every single one I have read.
They have made some days more bearable than others.
Praise which I am not used to, but I will cherish forever.
Thank you all for your patience care and understanding.
Of my amateur writings that at times can be demanding.
Sadly, and regretfully, I will now allow my mind to retreat.
I wish everyone of you well, until again we might speak.
Always be kind and share love with your neighbour and one another.
Offer a helping hand and kindness to each and every brother.
Keep writing all your metaphors and wonderful poetry.
Maybe speak again when I get back to some kind of normality.
Thank You / Take Care

Good write PL.
Hope this isn’t goodbye. And our community is part of our strength 🙏🏻🕊️
A poem before a journey an odyssey fraught with perils. The poem reads well my friend and my heart goes with it. Some poems are too real and tender to be touched and this seems one. My hands are too rough for its surface. Wishing a rapid return missing your Sunday wise man says
you could have written this from a page out of my book for I know the demons of depression all to well. I hope you're alright. I am often told I write so much about sorrow and pain. Which I do. What else am I to write about? When I write, I write for me for writing is my only release. I know of no other way. Also since I am wring to myself, I have np choice but to be honest. I can't lie to myself. Keep writing and don't stop. Believe me, I have notebooks of poetry I have never shared with anyone, yet plenty of relief has been felt by me just penning them, Again, I hope you're ok. Please don't leave, I just met you. thamk you for sharing a huge part of yourself with me.
Some wonderful wisdom and advice here.Inspirational
Oh no, my friend! What will I do without our ongoing interactions, reading your wonderful poetry, hearing your insightful feedback? I truly appreciate you and look forward to our interactions, friend. They have blessed me and, reading your poem, it seems these interactions with this community have blessed you. If that is the case, then I trust you will return. We all need breaks and I can understand the need for that. If you look back at my publishing history on here since 2017, you'll see I took my share. 🤣 But here I still am. So, rather than goodbye, I'll say take care till next time, my friend! 🤗❤️👏 Be well.
Come back soon friend, the world of poetry await you.♥️
I do hope these are just fine words Tobani and that you wll continue writing your fine words for us to read.
