    Bow Out

    My circle seems to be getting smaller Does change scare people away? It seems kinda funny sometimes  My friends don’t like self-improvement  Why bother hovering around here All you wanna do is fucking drink Piss and moan about everything Blame everyone not named you   Toxic environment inside...

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

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You can say that again, I’m glad I broke away as well. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • 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!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Very true, I unlocked a different world from the one I knew before. So glad I opted out of that toxic environment. A them problem, indeed. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • 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.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It does kinda always stick in the recesses of my mind. In the words of DLR: “I knew I had company.” You’ve been there as well. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Tremendous work, my friend.

    • 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.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Paula. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That we are, sounds like wise words to me. Appreciate you.

        Damian

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

      Great ink.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with write my friend. Then you know the feeling, not easy people to deal with. Appreciate you.

    • Everyone Sux! Powerful write Damian.

    • 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

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Julie. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I have no regrets, I started a new chapter in my life, as well as in my creative journey. Welcome to Stars Rite! Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Hi all good Thanks have a good day

    • 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.

    • Mic Drop! Preach, Willow, preach. Facts!! Into the book it belongs! Profoundly detailed assessment on how fucked up this whole situation is my friend. Felt this, gave me goosebumps! Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • I had a moment. Followed by a rant. And this piece grew from that space. I can’t ignore it. Also can’t do anything about it. But letting go of hope just doesn’t feel right. Thank you, my friend

    • It scares me what’s going on. When the people really find out everything I believe it’s gonna be ugly. I don’t understand his supporters. Honestly I tried to understand but this is something right out of a brain washed cult. Don’t know how or even when this nightmare ends, but it’s clear the damage is already done.

      • They’ll do as much damage as they can before it’s over. More than we can probably imagine. It’s terrifying. I’ve never understood his supporters. Somehow trying to feels…slimy & corrosive. I keep a close eye on it & a closer eye on my loved ones. We’re gonna need each other a great deal in days to come. Thank you, my friend

    • The average American doesn’t even know how many females goes missing every year here in America. Where are all of these women? You don’t have to worry about the country, the universe has a way of resetting all wrongs. A country that blurs it’s divisions of government soon ceases to be a country. Allies have realigned and signed new trade agreements as overpriced food here rots in the fields. Great piece Lady

      • I don’t for a moment believe it’s a coincidence that the traffickers are now in full control of the country. Barely hiding their actions and blowing smoke up idiot asses at every turn. I’m filling my drafts folder with protests and anger. And no small amount of fear. It is strangely satisfying watching other countries turn away. The fool already bankrupted 6 companies, why not a country? Ugh… Thank you. I always enjoy your comments

  • I Never Did It but There's Glass in the Garden

    I never did it. Not the way they say. Not with malice, not with rage I only ever loved too much.The moon was full when I found it, not lost, no, just misplaced by fate. Smiled like a memory...

    • That’s one helluva wicked woman you just poemed Damian .. way to go my friend .. if you would kindly send me her coordinates I will stop by and convey my regards .. Neville

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. That she was, her coordinates were lost in the late 90’s. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I love this, Damian. It reminds me of “Witchy Woman” by the Eagles. 🌾🕊️

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. That’s high praise, and good company. What a lovely comment. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I wish I could hear the music behind it. Perhaps someday we’ll get a glimpse of your energy and fire within your lyrics. Good one, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Well through GarageBand and Logic Pro, I’m working on that. lol. The problem with not being able to play an instrument, is that it only leaves a few options. So I’m working on a solo album to give these old lyrics a home, there will be new lyrics as well. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I sincerely hope this one makes the album cut! I so badly wanna hear it! It moves like a snake, undulates down the page. Perfect for the lyrics, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with lyrics my friend. I plan on this one making the cut, I’ve always wanted “Wicked” to have music again. It had music in 97, but it was never recorded. Thanks for your continued support it means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • This is fire, friend. Everyone loves a wicked woman.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s the theory.. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I can hear this playing in some club… maybe even a strip club!? LOL
      It has a great beat to the lines. It’s also very entertaining! Awesome job Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I try, I always write to the beat in my head. Maybe a strip club, or some other place where human beings gather. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Killer piece dude. You’re a talent my friend.
