just being honest
…I can be ashamed of me
I must forgive I

Self forgiveness is so important as is the learning that goes with it. Nicely done
probably the most difficult
Indeed
That ending! Yes, bro! It reminds me of the Rastafarian concept of I and I. Very holy, very apt message in its simplicity. And yes, I have often hated myself...and the only way out of that is through self-forgiveness and a measure of self-grace. Easier things to say than do. Powerful, powerful, powerful! Thank you for this! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Always appreciate you… I have a lot of Rastafarian family members so I can never forget their teachings
Amen! I appreciate you too, my brother!
I believe you can heal yourself Demar. Don’t be too hard on yourself because we can always find faults, you’re only human.
I appreciate you A, I compare myself a lot to history.. like people back then literally had oil lamps just to see and created masterpieces and paved the way for us today. Meanwhile with all this technology and even with the flip of a switch it feels like I’ve been just mediocre. Sometimes I feel like I’m living the best I can ever do and be. My potential has peaked. So now I’m just helping others…
I appreciate you as well Demar. I’ve noticed that I’ve tended to do that as well. It feels like everything is handed to me now,
I don’t have to really work for anything but work is part of why the reward is so sweet.
Hmm… would you consider creating poetry work? It feels like the only reward for me these days especially something I get to share as well
I suppose that’s one of the only things that I don’t feel like I have to earn. It’s reward enough to even be able to make sense of rhymes and create poetry. At least to the best of my abilities haha.
I’ve really enjoyed your last two poems on this site, if they really cared they would pay us for views attained on each poem, shoot I’ll take .25 cents per view. I understand what you’re saying about the reward to be conscious, lately I’ve been taking it for granted and feeling more miserable the more aware I am.
Thank you Demar! I’ve ran into a writers block lately but I’m glad you could find something in them. I think it would be nice to be paid but I’d rather my poetry be free. A little money wouldn’t hurt though. Sometimes when we explore ourselves we find things we don’t like, don’t get too sucked in. Many of us would miss you and your poetry!
Woah, so what inspires you to write? I’m hoping to bring you out of writers block with that question. This is as free as it gets for me.. I’ve been releasing poetry books all year and so far only my mom has paid for it LOL. I feel like poets will probably get rich 60 years after death!
I started writing when I was struggling with anxiety. It was a safer way for me to get out my feelings especially since I couldn’t afford therapy at the time. Now I just use it as an outlet to express whatever I’m feeling. Maybe I’ll take a look at your books!
Link is on my profile! And awesome I really do believe in the power of art healing mental health. My own testimony as well as others I hope your writers block subsides
