    Menticide

    I Indiana Jones’d my depression withfake smiles and aggression. No spores of joy in sight to teach me counter lessons. To hell with the common. I lost interest to follow the herd,please sell me to the devil i’m about to summon. Nothing to...

    • Powerfully penned, Drieks. This is a deep and profound piece my friend. Incredible write. Appreciate you.

    • G’morning, Drieks 🌤️

      What a creative title, and that photo choice (with your pen name attractively laid) is sheer eye candy, perfectly setting the ambient mood for what’s to come.

      “To hell with the common.
      I lost interest to follow the herd,
      please sell me to the devil i’m about to summon.”

      Sometimes, nothing much appears to be what it seems … so, why not throw caution to the wind, live it wild ‘n free, the way so many would love to be!

      I truly admire your creative metaphors – with their vibrantly-vivid, emotive impact, and what conscientious poetess or poet could help but admire your spot-on line-breaks, the way you’ve utilized soft and exact rhymes to set rhythm and hold the reader’s interest with fascinating imagery throughout … obviously, NOT your first poetic rodeo.

      How relatably beautiful your pen’s voice speaks to the captive mind’s-eye, Drieks.
      Wondrously shared, Dear Poetess! ⁓ Richard🖌️

      • Hello Richard,

        Thank you so much for your beautifully worded response to my poem.
        It truly brings warmth to my heart.

        I hope to be just as talented in using the English language as you are one day!

        Again, thank you Richard.

        • Aw! 🤩

          Hi, Drieks,
          You’re so very welcome … it is my pleasure to read you, and I happen to seriously admire your own unique English turns-of-phrase.

          Hugs! ⁓ Richard🖌

    • The metaphor of “Indiana Jones-ing” through depression is brilliant, painting the struggle as a reckless adventure where survival is uncertain. The imagery of webs, eight-legged freaks, and sanity creaking creates a vivid sense of entrapment of a mind pushed to its limits. What stands out the most is the refusal to conform, the rejection of the common, the questioning of perfection. It’s a voice screaming against expectation, demanding to be understood rather than advised.

      • Thank you Paulo, for shining your light on this piece.
        You summarized it perfectly.
        Depression is a never ending adventure no one signed up for.
