      • Thank you so much! It means the world to me. Truly. 💕

      • Very cool! Hey we like you via your writes! You have a lot going on in your head, so therefore you are not boring right? LOL
        I like how you search for what works for you, creativity wise. It reads well as a poem, and then the boom as a song.
        This is great stuff.

      • Truly enjoyed the read then when I reached the bottom and pushed play, it completely elevates your write. Honestly, I enjoy reading first and thinking about how it will sound when I push play
        at the bottom. It’s like the music aspect is desert after the meal/read lol
        Hope that makes sense.
        Keep killing it!

      • hello dearest Drieks we need hope and no one likes me don’t feel bad…it doesn’t matter what circle I’m in I don’t fit one on one I do great in groups not at all… ps I like you I just have failed to comment much of late… this write you should be proud of ❤️

      • “I’m the echo in a room that never speaks
        Nobody likes me
        Because there’s nobody like me
        I’m the secret even silence couldn’t keep.”

        Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent lyrics per usual my friend. That chorus above, next level wordplay! Once again your arrangement highlights your words. Appreciate you.

      • Oh, my god this is so good! I just played this so my wife could hear you again (and me) and it is just phenomenal! And what an incredible voice! Give her some love, girl. Plus the music and arrangement, everything is top notch!

      Demanding

      Style means nothing without substance  That’s something money can’t buy Walking through the world in a trance Long enough to embrace living this lie   Social outcast learns how to survive  Turning loneliness into independence  Wanting to avoid the impending nosedive Sometimes caution means ride the fence   Timid...

      • When I read your musing, a quote of Friedrich Nietzsche was the first thought that came to my mind: “You must have chaos inside to give birth to a dancing star. “It’s exactly the chaos, the self doubts, the questions upon questions, the deep reflections at night which give birth to a dancing star of inspirations writings and deep thoughts. Great work, dear Damian!

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

      • This is a good piece of musing, Damian.
        This is so true
        “Timid people constantly read the room

        While they study the human psyche “

      • Dude, I’m not timid at all and yet I still read a room! I am extremely observant of my surroundings. It’s a crazy world yaknow!

          Damian

      • It takes so many approaches and responses to survive these days. And not the least of which is temporary retreat and regroup. How do your pieces always seem so relevant to every moment? Prophet, I’m telling you. Keep assembling the pieces of the puzzle, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. These days reading the room and critical thinking are required to survive it seems. I will always be piecing together the puzzle, it’s what I do. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • There’s a real honesty here in the way you weave survival, wisdom, and self‑doubt into one puzzle feels deeply human. The closing admission about chaos being “demanding” hit especially true.🙏🏻🕊️

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, kesnerfreds. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Welcome to Stars Rite. Appreciate you.
