Well thankfully I don’t have this problem. Not that I haven’t had this problem before, and more times than I’d like to admit haha. I wrote this after a coworker of mine was telling me he hadn’t had sex in two years, and the women he tries to get with seem to string him along. Kinda reminded me of when I would have a crush, and just some women would love to keep you at a distance.

BTW: I don’t have a cleaning lady. I’m actually not that rich lol.

Powerfully penned, Nick. Intense write my friend, you brought the thunder on this one. Appreciate you.

RIP to all the great ink that are forever lost hehe.

Thanks for the read, friend.

Powerfully penned, Nick. This was an incredible write my friend. I can relate. Appreciate you.

I think keeping a bit of innocence can help guide us. I’ve lost family members and friends who all have similar stories. When they were younger they got into bad habits. Kept pushing it, convincing themselves they were invisible. And then they became a mess until they died. I also remind myself that I could of ended up that way if I didn’t make better choices.

Thanks for the read, friend.

Powerfully penned, Nick. Trying to find hope in a valley of despair, I’ve been there my friend. Appreciate you.

I wrote the original many years ago. I think I was just wanting to write more inspirational poetry. Though with this one I wrote it and didn’t really like it, then I reworked it and released it on DUP, still didn’t like it. I reworked it again now and I kinda like it haha.

I always feel blessed to see you my friend. Many hugs for you 🤗 🤗 🤗

Dammit, I wish I could bookmark this! From beginning to end, you had me. This one is deep. Life takes bites outta our ass everyday. To be able to recognize it’s easier as a collective…it’s huge. Community is the gold we actually need

This is like Beat Poetry. Inspirational and powerful. There are so many amazing lines. I love this one..

“always looking for forgiveness
finding out no one’s hands are clean
in this red room we call life”

Everyone is on the same playing field and no one’s voice should be more important than your own.

Powerfully penned, Nick. There is a burden to always being truthful, and caring enough to want the world to do better. It’s that we open up our hopeful expectations to possible and sometimes certain disappointment. Hang in there my friend. I felt this write. Appreciate you.

Ooof, this is like looking in a mirror. It took me far longer than I like to contemplate to figure out what you’re saying here. 🙌

I like the empathy you mention, the understanding that everyone is entitled to their opinion because experiences are different. We so rarely consider that there is universal truth, and then there are the personal truths as unique as the people who own them.
