    Discarded Dreams

    Listening to those old songs again They speak of pain and past regret A familiar voice wears a bitter grin Hard living arrives at endless debt   Bending words to avoid all feeling Can’t outrun those distant screams Strange spirts often make a killing Pillaging through discarded...

    • “A familiar voice wears a bitter grin”
      I can clearly understand your excellently expressed words, dear Damian. Such songs can trigger an endless loop of depressing thoughts. But they hold also the potential to make us aware of the shadows in our soul and help us to heal them.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I too, like that line. You are correct in your assessment, in this instance this one leans towards the latter. Thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

    • There’s nothing worse than past regrets. If we could only get it right the first time it would alleviate so much. But life doesn’t allow it. Sad but true. Good one, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It would save a bunch of heartache to get it right the first time but life kinda gets in the way sometimes. Appreciate you.

    • ” Listening to those old songs again

      Yeahhh. I get this. The older I get the more I resonate with
      those Truth Tellers of the past

      Thorough work, Damian

      much respect

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Naaj. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Truth tellers of the past often inspire new truth tellers. That’s just my opinion though. Much respect to you sir. Appreciate you.

    • This hits with the weight of memory that refuses to soften, each line carrying its own ache. I love how the poem lets the past speak plainly—no sugar, just the raw residue of living.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Thank you for your continued support brother, really means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

    • Oh the layers in this one. It’s interesting how old songs can take us back to a moment and it’s fresh again, but we’re able to look at it through the eyes of hindsight. That’s where regret comes into play. Without hindsight, we don’t know there’s anything to regret. I sit with old tunes sometimes just to remind myself where I am, because of where I’ve been. And then I change the music and carry on. It’s all we can do. But those old ones… Feeling this one, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Music definitely can take you back in time and without hindsight I agree there would be no regret. Great job deciphering the layers. It also adds more layers when I helped write and arrange some of those old tunes. Some guy once said: “Music is the soundtrack of our lives.” He might be on to something. lol. Appreciate you.

    • hi dearest Keith this is so true my daughter followed in my footsteps of shopping when she feel sad excellent write ❤️

      • So many use shopping when feeling low. That could become quite tragic and very expensive. Make sure your daughter doesn’t fall into a viscous cycle with her spending. Thanks Brenda!! xox

    • Powerfully penned, Keith. Excellent write with amazing wordplay my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • A wonderful, perfectly written piece of social criticism, dear Keith! Too many people appreciate material wealth only, lacking emotional intelligence, compassion and respect for all living beings. A powerful message! xox

      • Yes they do. Spending on foolish items can become a real problem. Many buy on impulse and enjoy that quick rush. When reality sets in, they feel miserable and defeated. The cycle starts all over again. Thanks Elke..xo

    • This hits like a cold slap, unflinching in its portrait of obsession and debt. I love how it mixes social critique with a personal edge—you can feel the shame, the watching eyes, and the inevitability of it all.
