Lab Rats

I love this beautiful Nightbird
the whole write is so powerful..

& the ending is perfect..

"May my Truth be unveiled and embraced! "

I find my most difficult part is the knowing my truth
it illudes me at times under all the layers..

excellent write..

love Brenda

Dearest Brenda..

It can be hard to peel back the layers
Also hard to decipher the messages from within
But it is necessary to be able to move on
Or rise above
Still not sure if I know my deeper Truths
But still going along for the journey

Thank you for the RL add..
Your comments let me know..
So much love  :))

I agree this gave me an affirmation of sorts
I am sometimes taken aback & apologetic for my darkness
but I see now more than ever when the time comes
it too must be freed..

thank you beautiful lady for this write
& helping me see more clearly..

love Brenda

As a nihilist I offer no truths...only some fragile beliefs...or as Kerouac once wrote...I have nothing to offer anyone except my own confusion. This is a powerful thinking piece of ink...loved every line.
Cheers...Harry

Nice quote :))

Thank you for your thoughtful reflection, glad you enjoyed it so!

That is assuming responsibility for one's actions amidst the corporate maze, Gem.  We may not be able to control certain circumstances or situations; however, we can control how we think and continue the search for our own truths within us.

Milton once said that the most difficult journey a man would make would be within himself. But it's the only place our Truth exists.

Good poem.

Your articulation is astounding my friend! Truth does lie within and only there, all the answers we seek to balance our perspectives awaits us, if only we may sit still long enough to observe the Within.

Thank you for your engagement Ahavati, much respect  :)))

I take so many pills daily, I sometimes even forget what some of them are for - the pharmacy companies love their lab rats :-(((((

A haunting write but one showing real resolve :-) excellent :-))))

Huge Big Hugs :-))))

I shutter at the thought of taking pills, sorry to hear you have to take so many :( No rest for the wicked- big pharma!

But alas the choices we make are our crosses to bare. Sometimes just need a little resolve :)

Hugsss :))

Empowering write.
Beautiful, all of it, every line.

Your appreciation is very nice to hear, thank you kindly :) Glad you could feel some empowerment!

"May my Truth be unveiled and embraced!"

oh yes this is the way to love yourself...preach...we are too often comfortable with cattle to master rat to the maze scenario...I'll call bullshit on it as well-Jeff

Sometimes we just need a little prodding, a map to navigate the maze  :)))  Thanks for engaging with this!

guilty.  
 
apologies, for i have, somehow missed this  
and so many  
of your gems.  
 
yes.  
time  
to put the reflection  
back in the mirror  
and embrace the truth  
that stood infront of it.  
you.  
 
the pills help  
only manage the symptoms  
while the treatment  
lay just under the shade of the lamp  
oblivious the world to it.  
 
 
gem of a write NightBirdBlue!

Apologies most unnecessary, as I am certain we all miss a few gems of our fellow poet's expressions along the way =) Guilty myself of this for you cold_fusion. I've been in hibernation as of late, though I am slowly reawakening with the community.

"and embrace the truth    
that stood infront of it.    
you."

-You- ...simply put, direct. Yes, that is all that may be revealed.

Yet another of my poems I may reference, and almost did along with my original comment on yours: Big Pharma - "There was no missed reality; the only Truth is that I am Me"

Your review: seen eye to eye my Friend =) Thank you kindly for coming back to this poem of mine!
