    • Great message. Unfortunately I’m in a bit of a pissy mood with people these days. Wish we could all just not judge.

      Great ink

    • Easier said than done, my friend. Still.. all we can do is our best – to live and let live. When my trust, belief and love take a hit I will remember to revisit this write. Inspiring message, thank you for the share.

    • Fantastic work. Good message.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • I’ve always tried to hold the words “you don’t know” in the back of my mind with others. You don’t know their story, you don’t know how far they’ve fallen or how far they’ve come. You just don’t know, so don’t judge. I’ve always felt differences were beautiful. It’s what adds texture to humanity. Another fantastic write, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree, when one doesn’t know, all they can do is assume. Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups! In my honest opinion. Differences are what makes each of us unique, I embrace that. Always dig your commentary. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Very much enjoyed .. Neville

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • You never know the truths behind someones personality. Message is clear & optimistic. Well done Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Our differences spice up and beautify our lives. They offer a wonderful opportunity to learn more about this world and all its varieties.
      Even if it is about the topic you absolutely don’t agree, don’t judge or hate. This makes the situation even worse. Try to stay open-minded and compassionate instead and your mind will be free to find the best solution.
      An awesome and brilliantly written poem, dear Damien!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I couldn’t agree with you more. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • A beautiful and insistent plea for universal acceptance. Its rhythmic, repeated structure powerfully drives home the message that true connection requires us to simply “judge not” those who are different. Resonates in every line and leaves a quiet, lasting impact.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Roma. So glad you connected with the write my friend. In a perfect world I imagine it would be like this write, I try to remain hopeful of humanity, though it’s not always easy. Appreciate you.

    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.

        Damian

    • Everyone Sux! Powerful write Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Appreciate you.

        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.

    • 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.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Appreciate you.

    Another Problem Solved

    • Dear D,

      You still got it. An incredible meter. Made me want to sing this. The imagery played in my head of a dark bus stop. Why? No clue. But the players in this piece for me, were intertwined. Trying to run but wanting to stay. I have a longer version running in my head but I’ll spare you the directors cut😊
      Wonderful write. H🌷

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, H. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I sometimes have that effect, it’s just the lyricist in me. lol. I always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Haha great end there, friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I liked it as well. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Just reading Honoria’s comment above & I think she’s right. This one might need to be considered for your lyrics list on the album. It has a cadence that moves & the visual is captivating. Worth considering, my friend? 🤔

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Anything is on the table, maybe even spoken word. Never say never. The song I’m working on, I literally had to start writing lyrics to it. None of the old words were fitting the vibe. Also, I haven’t tried to write a song for many summers now. I kinda forgot sometimes the music leads the dance. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I remember this piece. I enjoyed it then, and I enjoy it now. Nice Damian.;))

    • hello dearest Damian I feel you I’m in love but the need for another hit outweighs romance great write 💕

    • Something tells me this is so good .. I got a foot that can’t stop tapping .. 😎👍

    Typical Saturday Night

    • I guess we all have our interpretations. I see a line of young people heading into a club or hanging out outside it to hear hip hop or rap. Many may disagree, but I see that kind of music as negative and detrimental. Just my two cents.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. To me every kind of music or creative outlet has its negative sides, as well as its positives. Nothing in this world is exempt from good and evil. That’s just my two cents, for what they’re worth. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Tremendous flow here, my friend.

    • hello dearest Damian either they don’t read the situations or they are goading up to reveal what we know… through manipulation of a situation…they get me all the time this is one of your best in my opinion 💕

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I couldn’t agree with you more, the truth will hopefully be revealed. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I loved those lines as well, you’re right there is no such thing as a safe place in the world’s current state. Happy to read your commentary again, hope your music projects are going well. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • “While destruction lies around the bend”

      It’s interesting how the word lies changes the entire tone when read as one definition over the other. This is such a cleverly written piece. And powerful, as you excel at, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Loved that line as well. It is interesting how it changes the tone, I love the little things like that about writing, seems you do too. Nice to know I got company! Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Fanfuckingtastic Damian. Powerful and packs a tremendous punch!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I do what I can. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I kinda get an image of friends drifting apart maybe due to political differences.

      Great ink, friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I can see that, and that’s why I love poetry, every interpretation is open to the reader. Appreciate you.
