There is a monolog at the end Madeline makes. She isn't wrong. People can't put all the blame of their ultimate demise on the government, on bad parenting, on poverty...or deviner fate. You are the only person accountable for your existence. Own it. This is MY opinion. I choose not to remain a victim of circumstances. (edited)

Your absolutely incorrect don't act like the people around us don't affect how our situation is how they affect us negatively or positively to say this is absolutely discounting all of the abuse people put people through the abuse people go through with their government with other people around them that hurt them that breaks them that destroy them you are foul and incorrect if you think that other people don't affect people's situation absolutely unacceptable behavior

People don’t exist in a vacuum. Whether we like it or not, the society we live in shape us and even dictate the decisions we have at our disposal. That doesn’t mean we cannot make the best with what we have. But acting as if the society that we live in has no impact on us is naive.

I will never use my mental energy to defend my opinions. If you don't agree with something I have clearly stated was My own personal opinion. Scroll right on by. I don't mind engaging in a discussion. That's cool. I actually enjoy intellectual discussion. But, I refuse to go back and forth with anyone. ✌️😘 and I say this with love ..sprinkled with sarcasm..cause I don't care 🫠

First post

During my divorce, I started to explore writing as an outlet for my emotions. At first, I started with a fantasy book that I'd been toying with for years and found that one of the characters should be a bit of a poet. Suffice it to say I am no poet. But it became an outlet I threw myself into.... read more

A game or Not?

🌹 Can I trust your plan for us? Whispers of promises, fragile as dust, How do I know this plan is real, Not just a fleeting thought you conceal? How do you know it’s more than a dream? A script that fades like a shallow stream. Three months pass, six more unfold, A year, and still, the story... read more

Whispers of a Divide

No word is spoken, yet I know the quiet truth that we both sow— a longing caught between the veil, where love can’t die but cannot sail. Our roots run deep in soil unknown, though both seek light, though both have grown. We share the air, the stars, the dawn, but still the thread... read more

Perceptions

I Stupefied, the town's unsophisticated throng, Moralistic hypocrisy in their judgements, so strong. Enchanted by her beauty, they plunge into insanity, Concealing the demons, projecting scorn and vanity. She longs for her only friend, who saw her as human, whole, Not a false idol, where demons...

“Desires as one” a short poem by me

Slowly on the rising, your mouth is full of words. Yet this heart is open, empty and waiting for your words. You take my peak of destruction and turn it into a masterpiece only you can desire. Only knowing your worth and time, makes me know the strongest we can become as one.

Why would anyone wait, or waste their precious time? Are we special to anyone, or just a fleeting rhyme? Do we leave a lasting mark, or are we easily forgot? The questions haunt, as I wonder, what am I worth?
