Interestingly, being weak on something doesn’t mean you’re not strong. It is just for that one thing that we have to learn from.

There’s definitely a lot of truth in this, but also everything in moderation. Becoming fixated on things won’t make you better, just neurotic.

Nice writing Daniel.

Thinking is the root cause of all our suffering…. we can’t stop thinking but we can stop long enough to watch the mind.

Yes, they do, and it’s a marvelous thing when it happens. For me, “forced writing” usually fails, so I really love it words which seem to have lived inside come flowing out. You describe the experience well.

That is so true. You summed up my thoughts on how things just come out of nowhere,

Right now, the words are not coming for me, but I will read and comment till they come back. I like this

Power to you Elke💋

Yes. The good things about you should never be the things that you are used or abused for. I love how you still are all of the things that you were before, you’re just not allowing anyone else to have control over it.

You should speak up. Never suppress what you want to say.

I love everything about this poem. It’s plane to me that your passion is unequaled and unequivocal.
I dream, lovingly, of dancing with you under the moon, long hair flowing and both of us in purple wispy silks.

Powerfully penned, Elke. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

I can relate. I was also a people pleaser before I stood up for myself.

I was never a people pleaser and probably never will be. The only ones I have respect and love for are the few that give the same to me in return. The rest can go fuck themselves! I love this bold write. You stand tall, showing your strength and determination. A marvelous and powerful piece. xox

A friend once told me “Not everyone deserves your soft.” I am who I am, but they have to prove they deserve the best of me now. I’ll always move with compassion, but if we don’t take care of ourselves…who will? I burnt my filters too. Totally feeling this one!

You must be Scottish to use a word like ‘snool’.

Good write.

I found this so relatable. It was one of my former employers least favorite things about me, but I’d rather be a thorn in someone’s side than someone I can’t stand.

Dear S,

I really appreciated the firm stance in this write. It reminded me how quickly I can be overrun if not careful by those who intend to deceive. I enjoyed the meter and rhythm of the rhyming. That’s such a difficult style you did with aplomb. H🌷

Thank you, im happy to have helped! It’s nice seeing you here! It’s been a while!

Me and my drum?

“You’re on my mind like a song on the radio.” Nice one Green.
