    • I don’t think he can mentally take it but he is showing on the outside that he is brave.

    • Yes. He is scared and wants the people he oversees to think he is tough. The next part (10) is going to be the last one for a while. I will come back to this story in a few months.
      Thanks for reading and commenting.

      Regards

    • taking its breath away with my passion to live
      greeting the sour with the sweet
      very powerful Crimsin Like this line alot

    • Powerful and deeply raw. I love how this begins with pain almost having a personality of its own, trying to seduce the speaker into surrender, but gradually turns into a declaration of survival. “Taking its breath away with my passion to live” really stood out to me—it completely reverses who holds the power. The ending beautifully captures resilience: accepting both the sour and the sweet, yet refusing to bow. 🖤

      • hello lovely poetess thank you graciously for such a giving comment…it uplifted me I was faced with my own mortality lately I didn’t know if I had the strength for a serious surgery but I did…I love life and chose to stay even given the state of things I was thinking of your poem and thinking a lot of people reason I won’t live long enough to suffer current descions but your righ our children will… beautiful work ❤️

    • You writing is powerful and if I was a person to weep easily. I would be crying. there is so much pain and suffering.

      • Unfortunately, life grows at times off of pain and suffering. Regardless if that was our plan or not. What we learn from it is all on us.

    • The circle of the streets has been going on year after year with only a few changes to show for it. But as a people we must be the ones to make a difference, accept personal responsibility and hold those accountable for their actions.
