Like some chipped teacup. beautiful and functional but chipped still. Love this

Terrific expression of yours and many others wonky minds.
Not easy being human just enjoy what you can,when you can …..

hello beautiful poet twirling whirling out of control seeking a tempest resounded with me great write ❤️

S. I can relate heavily. My diagnosis is schizoaffective with a bipolar attachment. Thank you for writing this and posting. Brave.

Brilliantly penned, LDF. This is a very powerful write my friend. Appreciate you.

I agree, brave and beautiful LDF…

This resonates with me, as well…

I just went for a walk, sort of,
gravitating back to something like
equilibrium, following the closing of DUP…

Twas/tis such a unique form of loss…

(But it got me thinking about the different
times where I was searching for equilibrium…

One thing I would say is that equilibrium is
not all it’s cracked up to be…

:)(I don’t mind being a little crazy, honestly…

I have taken quite a liking to it…

I have decided I like being dangerous…

Poem inspired… TY)

I agree also, with the idea of our will to
stillness, based upon our divine sides…

In a world that is ever moving…

A fine dance between fine dancing partners…

Nicely done…

I miss you and think of you often

Keep moving forward my friend. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. Great poem.

It’s a lot to carry. I’ve only been in the support role for people struggling, my daughter for one. But I see how heavy it can get to keep up the mask & maintain a facade of functionality. You’re right, it changes people. Im glad you’re no longer that person, my friend

I think sometimes we get shackled by our passed. I was thinking about that while going through some of my old DUP post. It’s nice to see the creativity, but they were wrote from pain.

Great ink

The poems written from our pain, are probably my favorite. Not because they are from pain, but because something so raw, and so beautiful can come of it. This was a beautiful ode to your former self, and I’m proud of you, Damian. It’s not an easy feat, but you beat the odds and became a better version of yourself.
I wish you all the best for the future my friend.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Angel. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s an interesting story, sometimes anything can throw the switch, to obtain that moment of clarity. I still have like 4 beers in the fridge, that have set there for over two years. So I can relate, I keep meaning to throw them out, I just forget they are there sometimes. At first it was motivation to see them, and ignore the temptation. But I’m past that now. I’m glad you got to know your grandfather, the better version of himself. I’m a better version now as well. Thanks so much for sharing. Appreciate you.

Thank you, Dear PR,

For treating us to such a delightful taste of your captivating poetic voice.
By the vivid imagery, emotive thrum, smooth, flowing lines, and Freestyle rhyme scheme, one can easily tell this is definitely not the first dip of your skillfully dancing pen.

“I know I shall never die even in this
the truth can’t lie, the music I’ve made
is too, immortal” (sighhh!)

With grateful smiles ‘n hugs to Thee! ⁓ Rascal🤗

I hear you, you are not unheard. Great write!

Brilliantly penned, LDF. A very powerful write my friend. Appreciate you.
