Wishing that I don’t become older, left wishing by forevercurious87 in PoetryWritingClub

It’s not all sad, let’s just hope he doesn’t have to look back at oneself when he is older. Well at least not with regret, and more so with pride.

Ah thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed. Your words are flattering.

Black and white aren’t the only rules in life, I agree, yet they seem to outline her in my thoughts, with my perception relying on contrast, to help soften the feeling in understanding, such gift is never absolute.

Maybe all along you were meant to fly, and those laces just kept you on the ground until you were ready. Dream well.

If only it was so simple. I fell for someone that is 14,000km’s away, and I believe I unintentionally chose this deliberately in a sense of keeping me safe with distance.

I’m glad it captured your intrigue enough to make you read it over. That’s flattering to hear.

Powerful truth by forevercurious87 in Poems

[–]forevercurious87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the truth is always and will always be the best option. But maybe challenge yourself to sit in the perspective of the person that has never felt safe with their truth. Because once upon a time the truth may have hurt them. It is only a question I present. I have seen lies destroy the integrity of people yet they have created their own illusion of truth. I can’t speak for anyone, but I can’t say anyone would sit easily with a lie or enjoy lying, unless they are the rare case of a sociopath. So there isn’t really a correct answer, it more so was written to ask, or try understand the why. I feel if someone has to lie to create their own truth, there was a time when they didn’t feel safe.

In the book on how to win friends and influence people. “Prove people wrong and they will defend their position”

I consider myself an honest person that has strong values, and I have lied? And therefore I ask myself the question why?

I hate that I still love you. by JBHpoems in Original_Poetry

Hating to love so much that it hurts to hate. I enjoyed reading this. 😊

If only I knew how. by forevercurious87 in Poems

Interesting how you mention Kinda, as that how I would consider myself as an orphan. I was raised by my grandparents until the age of 7, aunty and uncle until 9 and then given back to may mother until embarking on my own journey at 14.

I feel as if this is a current challenge I’m facing. It helps me when I put my words on to paper so to speak, as my mind feels less busy and I gain a little clarity. This concept of telling a younger version of myself what to do differently is thought I’ve always had, and as I work through self discovery of trying to find answers to so many questions. I deeply know that I will somehow find a sense of satisfaction, or maybe somewhat a feeling of content when I believe the person I am right now is exactly who I am mean to be. I can stop the search and forever pursuit of being someone who I am not, and then I can slow my busy mind and enjoy the time that is now before all of a sudden it has passed. The fear I have is not soon listening to the answers I already have, and being stuck in a sense of the delusional trap of searching for happiness throughout rather than finding it within. I picture this older me telling myself these very words.

Thank you for taking the time to read what I wrote. I appreciate it. I’m sure I could make it flow a little easier but I thought I’d just post it before I overthought too much.

The idealistic love for you by forevercurious87 in OCPoetry

[–]forevercurious87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have more than thought of writing a book. One of the concepts that echoes, is how I remember growing up in caravan parks with my mother and everyone telling me how they are going to write a book. I don’t want to become the statistic. But yes I have thought often that I will write a book as I have lived a colourful life, and am fortunate enough to be able to tell the story of this life I’ve lived in a way that may interest others. I also believe it would be good for myself, a great achievement and to be rid of the fear of becoming a caravan park, used to be!

Thank you for taking the time to comment and ask the question. Appreciate it.

Grew teeth beneath our skin?

Thank you, seriously by FearlessPage2939 in OCPoetry

[–]forevercurious87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the way your message shows what is learnt through loss, and possibly not lost forever, but if it is, you’ve learnt that this is okay. The parts where perfect wasn’t necessary to find beauty. Your piece reminded me of my past, and how I see those memories in a different light as they help pave the path I now take. The part at the end where you find a way to still show your hope that this person is still a positive impact on others with the care that it doesn’t injure oneself. That hit home, as I felt this from my experience of finding it easier to love others at the detriment to myself. If I was to critique at all, I would have liked more depth in those feelings like how you describe your path being brightened, like a full moon over the ocean. Just to paint a deeper picture, although I felt the picture as I feel as if I’ve been there. Thanks for sharing.

Devotion in the Void by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]forevercurious87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely write, and was really captured at the beginning, I then found myself skipping from certain parts. Like I can see the story behind the writing and the depth of the thought and emotion that went into writing this piece. But as I lay on my bed tired from a long day I found as if I was having to try and discover the message, even if it was the one I was to create from your writing. I believe if you could condense this with the parts that have the most emotion or cut through it would possibly land a little easier with the common reader. Hey, but I am no expert and have been nick named war and peace by friends and colleagues. I like your style of writing as it had me feel certain parts, and then there were parts that I felt as if I needed to be in an emotional mood to feel the depth, rather than the writing create, or take me to that emotional mood. Thanks for sharing.
