Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is a painful experience, indeed. Been there before, being ashamed of some of my writes. My vault has lots of poems, lyrics, and ideas. I even possess a lot of my old notebooks, including the very first one. I don’t share from that book, it was really bad. lol. But I also have a section of writes where I don’t even know who that person is, when I was drunk and depressed I was a mess. Those works are kept as a reminder of how bad my state of living was. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You know what it’s all about then, just from a different point of view. Alcoholics are often guilty of hurting those closest to them. In our minds we’re only hurting ourselves, not realizing that those who love us are a casualty of the disease as well. Thank you, brother. I never want to be that person again. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I think for me it started as an escape, then in it seeped into my writing, at one time I actually thought I couldn’t write without booze. Like I said, there are layers to addiction. I understand their struggles, it’s not easy to let go of something that becomes part of one’s being. Appreciate you.

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You’ve faced it from a different point of view, which means you’ve witnessed those horrors in realtime my friend. Part of sobriety has been digging deep into my psyche, to understand my ticks and how they make me tick. lol. And not take myself so seriously all the time, try to enjoy the moment and not overanalyze every damn thing. Easier said than done, but I try. Thanks for your heartfelt commentary, means a lot to me. I’m glad you enjoyed the visit, and continue to support my work. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading, Paula. This write is just an observation, it’s not about left or right, blue or red, donkey or elephant to me. It’s more good vs. evil in my opinion. It’s about wealthy vs. poor. Most politicians are owned by someone, a corporation, a wealthy 1% family. Sure I used the word leftist, but it can be whatever at the end of the day. But that was the flavor I was going for was money and power equals no accountability. Appreciate you.

Damian

Great write, Paula. Chaos is running rampant in the world these days. Appreciate you.

Damian

We’re going to have Trillionaire’s soon, corruption is all that’s trickling down in the end. It is topsy-turvy, everything has been turned on it’s head. Appreciate you.

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It seems the more I observe humanity, that there are people who look for scapegoats, especially the wealthy 1%. Such vampires. lol. Appreciate you.

Damian

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I couldn’t agree with you more. It is Robin Hood in reverse. The world has gone all topsy-turvy lately, the lines are blurred. I wish I wasn’t right so often, actually I would loved to be proved wrong on a lot of things. I hope so as well my friend. Appreciate you.

It is the simple things in our histories, that really show our similarities as human beings, couldn’t agree with you more. Grannies, are just different, in a good way. Appreciate you.

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Those lines are 100% mine. They are hard to stay away from, that’s it in a nutshell. There are so many great musicians out there, some bands even have followings, though they never got a record deal. It wasn’t wasted music some people loved it, that is making it in a way. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I think that line was mine, it could have been, Joey’s. The verses are where I’m definite. lol. I was tired of these words sitting on a hard drive, so I did something about it. lol. A wise friend of mine once said “Work is meant to be shared, to be read and heard.” I might have paraphrased a bit. lol. Thank you, Fia. I think your influence has made me see that clearly. Always learning, I am. Appreciate you.

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Good to see you, and was also nice to get read some of your work again. Hope all is going well my brother. Appreciate you.
