      • 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.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Clay. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It is easier said than done, all we can strive for is our best efforts towards the matter. Appreciate you.

      • Fantastic work. Good message.

      • 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.

      • Very much enjoyed .. Neville

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

      • 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.

      • 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.
