Sorry??

Poetry

What does the word even mean An apology that is supposed to be given when felt The word does not erase the feelings That absolute absurdity of it As a child you were made to say your sorry Looking in that same child's eyes There...

  I remember my grandma used to sit down and talk quietly with us when we did something we shouldn’t have. She’d explain how our actions hurt someone else, how it made them feel and asked how we would feel if it was done to us. She wanted to be sure we understood the repercussions of our actions, no automatic apology was expected. She knew we needed to feel it for it to really matter. I don’t think a lot of people take the time to do that these days. It’s just a reflexive “say you’re sorry” to the child without explanation. Doesn’t mean much that way. And then it perpetuates longevity for the behavior. This is a solid “got away from me ” piece

    Thank you willow. I meant for it to be short and I don’t know what happened. But I agree with you. If you do not understand why you are saying it. It means nothing.

  Terrific write Fia.
  
  Sorry is only one of the many words that leave our lips without any real truth or understanding.

  good observational write. Well described. It is worth saving and recalling this write, for others too. A mantra to be wary of false words, including apologies.

  I like steak well done, but the current steak situation…inedible, unpalatable and unacceptable. Perfectly executed

  We as a nation have had tough times in the past, but I can totally understand your sentiments. Everyone is getting on the same wavelength. We all know things aren’t going good. There are many factors involved to.

Back aches
Feet throbs
Vision strain
Headache driving one insane

We came up with the saying “the tough get it done”

I’m done…
We as a society, on the whole
Are charcoaled steak
Extra well, with no tenderness in sight

  It does feel that way, done, charcoaled. But after last Saturday, I saw hope for many reasons beyond the numbers. But it will take more than a one and done approach. It will take sustained resistance, nonviolent activity, a refusal to obey the flames of abuse, and in our millions to stop the “grilling”.

  Your poem rings so true, Fia,. Let’s hope that, one day, Society rediscovers tenderness, love, and caring about each other rather than all the squalid hatred, the foul judgement that has no place.

  It’s all in the details. The little nuances that leans elegantly one direction or the other. This one takes me places

  This is a very reflective piece.
  
  I can sense a lot of careful concentration from the writer.
  
  I admire the determination throughout the stanzas.
  
  This is a dark but incredible read. x

The Pitch

There is dark
And there is pitch
It’s funny how dark can feel comforting
And pitch is where the nightmares make a home

I see your silhouette in the dark
Envisioning warmth from lips
Sounds that roll like sweet butter toffee off the tongue
And I know there is only one thing left to do

Then there is the pitch
Alone and n…Read More
