Trending Nonet

Thrust I am into unwelcome hugs

No choice but to bleed hearts and tears

Princess     underdog    bully

I live these lives madly

In their heads I laugh

No room for me

Judgement day

Lack of

Trust.

    Such a powerful and thought provoking poem, Jaya! The first time I read it, I interpreted it very differently to how I interpreted it the second time. It always amazes me how the meaning behind your words can change with a small shift in perspective. 🙂

    That seems to pretty much sum up my entire childhood. Another great piece

    Interesting ideas, if you’re considering generally introverted people. Not everyone feeds off the energy of others, and for some, the experience of interaction can be exhausting and feel like you are bleeding away a part of yourself

    Oooh this was powerful! Kinda feels like it should be in a YA book or movie!

    Obviously I don’t know what or who you had in mind when you wrote this but it made me think of celebrities who have to put on a public face for the crowds and fans, no matter how they really feel inside. Love this, Jaya, so many levels 🙂

      Levels is the perfect word for this! Thanks, Lisa. <3

    I like that you put the wide spacing between
    Princess-underdog-bully
    It speaks volumes to the beginning and ending of this piece. Nicely done, Jaya.

    1. Jaya Avendel

      Thank you! This is the first time I have been creative with spacing and I love how it turned out.

    As I read your words, I kept looking at the accompanying image. It all put me in the mind of the pretenses and masks we wear.

    “No choice but to bleed hearts and tears” is a powerful expression linking to strong state of mind that recall pain and compulsion.
