Easier said than done, my friend. Still.. all we can do is our best – to live and let live. When my trust, belief and love take a hit I will remember to revisit this write. Inspiring message, thank you for the share.

I’ve always tried to hold the words “you don’t know” in the back of my mind with others. You don’t know their story, you don’t know how far they’ve fallen or how far they’ve come. You just don’t know, so don’t judge. I’ve always felt differences were beautiful. It’s what adds texture to humanity. Another fantastic write, my friend

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree, when one doesn’t know, all they can do is assume. Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups! In my honest opinion. Differences are what makes each of us unique, I embrace that. Always dig your commentary. Appreciate you.

You never know the truths behind someones personality. Message is clear & optimistic. Well done Damian.

Our differences spice up and beautify our lives. They offer a wonderful opportunity to learn more about this world and all its varieties.
Even if it is about the topic you absolutely don’t agree, don’t judge or hate. This makes the situation even worse. Try to stay open-minded and compassionate instead and your mind will be free to find the best solution.
An awesome and brilliantly written poem, dear Damien! -
A beautiful and insistent plea for universal acceptance. Its rhythmic, repeated structure powerfully drives home the message that true connection requires us to simply “judge not” those who are different. Resonates in every line and leaves a quiet, lasting impact.

Good write, Damian. There’s always that “Lord Of The Flys” affect when too many egos are involved. I’m glad you broke away.

Sometimes when we opt to bow out, we find amazing things. Where you go will always be determined by you that way. What they do? As my daughter would say, that’s a them problem. Fly, my friend!

I’ve been there. I know the animosity that grows over time slowly until it boils over. It’s very disappointing after it’s all over and done. It keeps going through your mind even years later. Good one, Damian.

We are always in a state of change. I’m trying to let go of past events. People may read a piece or two about enduring an horrific childhood but there comes a point to emerge as the survivor and not dwell on what can’t be changed.

That’s some fantastic venting. “Blame everyone not named you”. I been butting heads lately with someone like this.
Great ink.

As I’m new here and don’t know your story and I don’t know the background to your write here but I loved it’s raw energy the swearing 🤬 even and the emotion the regrets (if any )self doubt of your decision (probably not ) and the style so
When you gotta go you just gotta go ! A new chapter awaits you -
Wow, that’s incredibly raw and honest. You really capture the intensity and eventual breaking point of that kind of toxic partnership. It’s great to hear your creativity has resurfaced– you definitely ended on the strongest note by realizing you decide when to bow out.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Roma. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It was definitely toxic, it took me getting sober and about two and a half years before I started writing again. Then I was at DUP for about 10 months before it closed. It was because of that community I found myself again. I moved here with some of them and am watching the Stars Rite community grow into something special, this is my home now. Sorry for rambling on, I do that sometimes. lol. Appreciate you.

No one wants to be the one to say hi first. Everyone thinks that the other person has a hidden agenda. This is an interesting outlook. Never wanted to be a boss. You know I talked with people in charge and some said that they felt the same way.

Powerfully penned, Nick. It’s a different world out there, dig this write my friend. Appreciate you.

Seems like there’s a mass apathy sweeping the human race these days. Smile & get blank eyes. Or a frown. It’s rather disheartening…I find myself becoming more reclusive everyday. Not a good thing either, but at least alone explains the silence. Great reflection

Great message. Unfortunately I’m in a bit of a pissy mood with people these days. Wish we could all just not judge.
Great ink
