Don't worry; I am participating for fun and will not share in the SBD payout:):):)
Well, you know you should get your share ;)
About the poem:
As I read, I thought, "What about shame?", and there was shame, right there.
This kind of encouragement is a sensible issue. I think we all have second skins, and I like to think agree with the speaker of your inspiring lines; however it is at times from difficult to impossible. I guess we set the limits ourselves.
Loved it, @prydefoltz :)
Pointy and accurate lines. I love that pen to penetrate the interior of dark and unruly subjects. Being and seeing, so many times in contradiction. So many armor, so many masks and you go in, you remove dust, you draw blood poking well inside and tears of surrender, of falling into account.
Excellent as always, Pryde friend!
Many people hide their feelings under a shield so as not to be hurt. I think that people should show themselves as they are. Courageous and sharing what it feels like.
It seems our offerings are rather in the same vein. Shed our shame, embrace our scars, and make our own paths. The way I see it, I earned every wrinkle, every scar – both existential and in flesh; they are the roadmap of my life.
