Powerful. Vivid and sharp.

Clever along with the confusion of “knowing” how things will go. This is short but sharp as hell.

This reads like playing chess.
Or even tennis.
Well done!

Powerfully penned, Sam. Excellent write with a little back and forth going on my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

I agree it is like a chess move. really good Sam

You always could pen something lovely when you allow yourself. ♥️ nice poem

keep trying ..

This is kinda where my mind has been lately. I recently took a lower paying, more physically demanding job just to access these very feelings. I just wanted feel what real living is like again. You’ll only get what you give, and many of us have to give a lot more just to get a little, but these are the conditions that shape the poet. Keep trying, and keep in mind that more people see you than you realize! Life is hard fkn work! But I know you know this, because you are a poet!!

Thankfully you, we all, have access to let it all out in writing. That is our strongest voice. God knows that creative writing really helped me become who I am. I still have a vocal glitch, that hits me whenever it wants, but it isn’t a handicap. I have learned to be confident regardless. Writing gives us a super power. You will win the battles Fia.
Awesome write.

Powerfully penned, Fia. Another excellent write with many deep layers my friend. This one has a musing vibe while turbulence is stirring beneath the surface. I concur with Mark. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.

Thank you for this encouraging writing, dear Fia!
Settling with what you have already achieved, means standing still. But trying again and again, getting up after falling and trying anew is a brave way of progress and self development. Only doing so you can reach out for the stars!

I love that you chose a positive message to write of. There is never enough of that. So thank you! And the write is well crafted, full of inspiring lines to lift the reader up. Great idea and great result, Fia.

Great thoughtful writing Fia.

This does have a positive feel to it.
You never know, sometimes acknowledging someone who’s struggling could impact their day in a positive way.
One could only hope!

I think that too often people know it’s a mask, but they want to believe it’s reality. Because having to see what makes them uncomfortable is more than they’re willing to take on. So we paste on the smile and say we’re fine, and they eagerly choose to believe it so they don’t have to acknowledge the truth. I love that the message in this is to see beyond the surface

As someone who sleeps horribly, I will take all blessings given!
Such a sweet wishful poem, Fia. What a nice gift to read this evening.

Brilliantly penned, Fia. Another excellent write with a musing feel my friend. You know I dig your musings.. I hope you did get some rest though, since you’re always working hard. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.
