    It’s my world and you just exist in it

    I didn’t love you. I loved the idea of you. And I rewrote you into my story the way I wanted.

    • How often do we project our ideal images or personalities into someone we have a crush on, or admire? I know growing up I did it a lot. I made my female crushes into someone that didn’t exist. It’s often through heartbreak, or age, or wisdom, we learn.

    • Even though this is short, it holds so much truth to it.

    • Powerful work. I relate.

    • Yes, I know exactly what you mean. But one day I discovered how thrilling and satisfying it is to show one another the raw and naked self in all our greatness and flaws!

    True Power

    You only saw power as taking Taking control  Claiming opinions, trust, positions, respect Subsuming individuals into the collective you until we all talked the same,  and walked the same, and thought the same. But Sir power is not taking it may only be received So you may take what you think you want  from me I can always...

    Texture

    I wish you could feel the texture of my silences and trace the scars of my pauses where the urge to speak ripped and tore knowing it was useless but begging to be heard

    • To see the world and its inhabitants as they truly are and be able to accept them is being “woke” then I am too. Nice stream of consciousness.

      • I will never be ashamed of supporting those who are just trying to live their lives. I mean I feel extra worried for trans people. When you have the vice president calling trans people deranged it’s mind blowing. Scary times.

        Thanks for the read, much appreciated.

    • Spitting fire, Nick. Into the book it belongs! A very powerful write my friend. Appreciate you.

      • I believe you can never lose when you fight with truth.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • !!!!🙌 So on point, my friend! That’s all I got for words here. You done said it all🙌!!!

      • ✋ such a great comment. Honestly I’m just happy to see there are people that see the ugliness that is happening.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • Hell yeah! 💥
      Really, it’s gotta be the most lame-ass insult I’ve ever heard. If someone is calling people “woke”, does that mean they’re admitting that they’re asleep..? And… proud of it..? 😆 Geez.

      Love this write!
      ❤️k

      • Yeah, it is very stupid. And yet they keep saying it like they’re on to something. Literally they’re saying we shouldn’t think. It’s just as stupid as that movie don’t look up.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.

    • I am reading and I will do my best to get eyes on the creatives. Being a creative person is never easy, but it is a necessity in my eyes.

      • Art is always subjective but I think losing DUP was a big hit to us poets. But I really hope to see more friendly faces here. I think once people get the hang of things they would see it’s even better.

        I try to do my part as well but life is busy these days.

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Well I was hooked from the first line, where does poetry go when it dies? I guess into oblivion to exist but be unseen and unheard. It’s crazy how we have so devalued and under appreciated art in any of its true forms when the world we live in now screams all the things that should make it thrive.

      • Devalued is pretty much everything now. It’s sad, but maybe one day things will come around. I mean if vinyls can make a comeback, why not?

        Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.

    • Mic Drop! Excellent write, Nick. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I will never surrender my ink! We’re not dying. We’re simply finding pockets of safety in a world gone mad. If I could put this on my reading list, I would…twice. Damn…

      • A very mad world these days. Which honestly with as many opinions people have you think they would want to write poetry instead of tweets.

        Thanks for the read, friend. Much appreciated.
