    I complain.....

        **A Complaint to You**   I complain about you— about this life we are living now, about the way we drift through days without knowing how.   When you care, you must also give— for what is love if not the courage to live?   I complain about you again, for giving...

    • My draft I see AI couldn’t express so well my emotional thoughts.

      I complain about you for the life
      Which we are seeing now
      When you care you also need to give

      I complain about you that you are giving much fun than freaking life which you are of with

      I complain now about you that your responsibility has risen with much sacrifice to give to make mom and dad to be a dad as like dad and mom care and sacrifice.

      I do because you are wasting a dollar for every second and you are not saving a dollar every second.

      I beg your pardon for seeing the life what we are going through I must say complaints to you about your self because we ended up with no control of mom and dad…..

    • Nice write. I like the continuation of reasons that you stacked in the stanzas. It works well. Solid writing.

    • Well, you have laid it all out and if anyone had any questions, they need to read this again. Nicely put.

    • Unapologetically penned, Lizz. This is a powerful and honest write my friend. We all have ups and downs in our journey as writers, taking accountability and living to tell the story is what keeps us putting pen to paper. That’s just my opinion though. Excellent work here. Appreciate you.

    • Very cool. It places you in front of a crowd, that you are not fearful of. I enjoy self-empowering writes. it isn’t egotistical, it’s affirmation of your worth. Well done.

    • It’s plain to see you’re a serious and articulate writer. You’re able to express yourself astutely and with no reserves. I envy your unapologetic courage. Great write here.

    • Thanks. I’ve been writing as a young teen, and as a teen I had no one to talk to, to express myself so I turned to poetry it was the only way for me to get things out. Though through time I’ve become better at my poetry. And I keep it as real as possible.

  • Sorry??

    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 is not an ounce of remorse
    Confusion
    Anger

    Adolescents are no better
    Sorry rolls off the…Read More

    • A ‘sorry’ like this is nothing more than the ego trip to make whoever said it feel good about themselves and nothing to do with changing what they have done. To be truly sorry, takes action, means changing attitude, behavior, and not doing whatever they have done again. A good poem for day #5 of poetry month, Fia. -Curt

    • 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.

    • Powerfully penned, Fia. Another excellent musing my friend. Amazing observation as always. Nicely done. Appreciate you, Cuz.
