I've read several of your poems and I must say I always enjoy them. Your words are easy to understand - no hidden meaning behind a metaphor.
And, then, there's your talent to address. This has a wonderful rhythm and the words you chose were so honest and so powerful. I realize by now you've had a difficult past and I give you much credit for expressing your life in poetry. Best regards, Lilly

Thank you for your kind review. I'm glad you are enjoying my poems.
Comment from Beck Fenton
The complete baring of one's soul and clothing the naked truth by poetry has been inspiring to read. The journey has certainly been a long and arduous one, I'm sure. Bless you for writing about the struggles!

I am happy that you are putting your thoughts and feeling into poetry. I know it helps with cleansing. I know we often fall backwards when we're attempting to push forward. God is there to help and so are your FS friends. Reach out.

Hello Charity a good day to you. As always I hope all is well. It's no surprised that you have delivered a nice flowing poem with a nice rhyme scheme that sounds like it came from the depths of your soul. Good job as always.

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
This is a good example of poetry being used to release some tension.
I enjoyed reading this, although sometimes I can get triggered. I could never expose myself the way you do, you are very courageous. Keep writing!

Hang in baby girl. No matter how tough things get, your art is providing a handle that you can hang on to, so you do not have to free fall. If you continue to put in the work you are producing right now, I promise you that things will get better. The thoughts that you are writing down are cleansing your mind and system so that they are not hanging around clogging you up and filling you up with poisonous thoughts and negative energy. Blow them out, cleanse yourself. Fill your mind with positive thoughts and watch what happens.

Your supoort and advice mean everything. I do feel better bleeding all of my struggles, tragedies and circumstances in my poems. You are a inspiration to me. Thank you. Thank you.

You are very welcome. I do not intend to be over personal, but most younger black women are baby girls to me. I hope I did not offend you. You are talented, and I pray that you know that and that you trust your instincts.

No I'm not offended at all. I'm starting open mic events next week.

Now that's what I'm talkin about. Good luck, I know you gon' slay the house and tear the mic up. I'm rooting for you all the way.

Hi Charity, still struggling i see, I see I missed your call the other day, tomorrow (Sunday) would be good, I tend to do my reviewing in the early morning, I was stuck with a blocked drain yesterday, I'm not sure I can help you, one must not trust feelings or one's mind, (thoughts) this very moment is the only time we have, if one reflects on the past, we get discouraged, or if we have an expectation that we're going to get screwed, then we will, time to change friends, faith is based on things hoped for, if we expect bad things to happen, they will, that's how I turned my life around, I expected good things, no matter what, i changed my friends, not my family, but my attitude. I rarely write bad stuff, that is an avenue to disaster, never changing your circumstance, changing geographical location won't change us, nor circumstance, it follows us, because the problem lies with us. Well done Charity. Bless you, I've prayed for you, Roy

I'm now left with an image of Eve, chowing down on an apple as she skydives on mushrooms, unaware of the consequence of using her shirt as a parachute ... Hopefully the frog-leg surgery will help with the landing.
You are great at conjuring punchy statements. My humorous interpretation aside, you've expressed well the anger of futility, the unfairness of the meaningless of existence, and how we seek purpose without necessarily knowing why.
Great writing.
Mike

Comment from Beri Bee
This is powerful and visual. It also seems like a great song to me. "So much weighing me down, I need a cart" is like a chorus line. Once or twice, guilt comes through. It makes me feel it's ever-presence, like always there in the background ready to surface again. But the poem stays mostly in strength, reminding of the weighty things and carrying strength the poet really has. This struggle is as terrifying as it is daunting. So big. Thanks

I sincerely hope you are feeling better inside. Writing is a great way to express ourselves, that's why I love this medium. Interesting how you chose to end the piece with a desire to "not eat from the forbidden fruit." Made me think of what a man named Paul said, "For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do." Thanks for sharing and all the best.
