It would be sad if all of us here were divided instead of united in a common passion... I agree with what you've expressed so wisely in this poem. Congrats on the win!

This is powerful and expressive, Constance!! Shame on those who make people's lives a misery, on those who cause rifts and pain, who break hearts and drive others to the cliff's edge. Congrats for POTD. All the best. // paul

I'm not here yet Broken, but I will be in a few days. I'm enjoying my last days with my sweetheart Nate. He will be leaving soon:-( :-( :-( I too love the way you struck everyone out. WOW! Love it. Shame on anyone saying we aren't good enough, anyone saying we are doing it wrong. We are all made out of love. I don't Do cliques. I enjoy standing with my family and friends. I don't do hateful commissions, however, I will stand up to those who accumulate too much saliva of bad taste. You are amazing. Congrats with POEM OF THE DAY.

One thing I like about you Broke, is your tenacity to tell it like it is and march to your own drummer. I wrote 'City of Gold' and slapped it on soup; one gal asked me where on earth did I expect to get it published at. I followed rhyme and meter scheme of Robert Service's 'Cremation of Sam McGee.' This guy is awesome! Some stuff I'll try to get published, but it ain't why I write. For some people, it is...

A friend told me yesterday, he ran with a certain crew. Then noticed how disappointed he was. After he stop pretending to be like them. He became loved, adored. So it's not about being like others. It's about being yourself. it works For Me. I see it works for you. That's why we are loved by Many. Fake are the ones trying so hard.... lolololol

I love this. Broken, to form hate is to be hate. And boy are they blind and self centered. Some people belong in coffe shops Others Do not. So for this I am saying. They are masters of nothing trying to fit in groups with hypocrisy problems. They like to diagnose others, with the mental disorders they have. I have a welcome mat for all, I'm glad it's bully proof. LoL. These bullies try to use the intelligence of others. So now, you tell me who's the bigger coppy paste lenders. yup, the gossiping crew. Weakness and insecurity happens to be the only thing they have in common. So I am happy they have a clique to join. I'm so glad to be different. I enjoy knowing after all these years I still give them something to talk about. A favorite post
