damaged goods

Searing ... and felt ... Epic write ... Bless and love ...

Thank you, Alan! For the read, comment and unrelenting support❤️

That last stanza so cutting

Thank you, AP. That was the vibe I was going for :P thanks for the read and comment!

keenly felt emotions are tough to convey...you do so admirably!   Worth two reads (to no deeper meaning is missed).

Unfortunately, Bobby, I haven’t excelled like my peers at much deeper meanings. However, I aspire to that and hope one day I can accomplish deeper meanings! Thank you for the read and comment❤️

(It’s crazy cause I was just commenting on one of yours when I saw this notification😋)

You are doing well (imho)....your pieces stimulate the senses and make the reader want to read!  We are ALL trying to get better; don't underestimate yourself and continue your work as a labor of love.  :-)

You’re too kind, Bobby. But thank you for the uplifting words! It’s good to be a part of the underground most days❤️

Excellent use of metaphor here, enjoyed this
But....

Wow! Carpe, that’s actually kind of cool to think the same thing crossed two unknowing minds! Thank you for the read and comment, as well as sharing your own poem with me😌❤️

I thought that when mate when read the title

Interesting to read this poem, I could understand it clearly, that's why I liked it so much.

I’m so glad, Aptsky! I enjoy poems I can comprehend on the first read, even though I do have love for deeper meanings as well (I’m just not there yet :P)
Thank you, dearest, for the read and the comment, it’s greatly appreciated❤️

Incredible metaphors here
one brilliant one after one brilliant another
and the rhyming and tempo also brilliant

wonderful spill

Thank you, Tallen! This for sure gave me a greater understanding of the work and thought some of the better writers like yourself put into their pieces! Thanks for the read and comment❤️

I admit to having sticky keyboard keys, damn Jack and Cokes lol...great spill

Hahaha, thank you, Tim. For the read and comment! You should be more careful with the jack and coke spills, that’s alcohol abuse!😂

Damn, harsh write but I guess the truth hurts! Loved the rhyming!

Haha, truth does hurt sometimes! Thanks for the read, LI, and the comment :)

You don't have to have a complicated, confusing poem for it to be good and meaningfull ask a good poet this. I think you need to be proud you produced a great poem, that's how I see it. I wouldn't know it if you were a beginner cause to me you said it all very well indeed.  

Youre so kind to say that! That really helped, thank you :)

WOW! This poem brought me to tears. It is the sequel to "My Mind" They say most sequels are worse than the original, this proves them wrong. I have a habit of reading others poems aloud, I had to stop for a wee cry about halfway through. I ended up just reading internally and got to the end, and I was glad I did. This poem is right on the verge of perfection. So many original lines of power, metaphors and similes. Truly a passion play of a poem, thank you so much for sharing

David, omg. You're going to make me cry! Haha, thank you so much! Just for all the kind words, WOW, I'm taken aback. You are too sweet. But thank you! For the reads and all the kind comments :)

Kind Comments? LOL - they are the facts :-)))))))

Please, you're DU royalty, ok. I AM HONORED haha

I am just a lowly poet, we are all equal in my eyes, our voices are our own, full of original thought and experiences. the poems I really like are the ones written from personal experiences and emotions, you are a wordsmith and I will definitely read more :-))))))))

That’s so true❤️ Thank you, BP, for the read and the comment!

A bit of a powerhouse expression here. Sometimes no amount of work can mend what's broken...especially if only one is trying. Love the use of metaphors here...I'm all about metaphors myself so I really dig this. Sometimes it's just best to cut your losses & walk away

Right! And that’s exactly what I had to do. I don’t think any one person has enough energy to pour into another that is a bottomless pit of damage they have no intention of trying to mend. Thank you, sweet Willow, for the read and the kind comment❤️
