Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Apprehensiveness

Is it proper to apologize if I have been harmed? 
I don't fall or stagger when I'm downward 
Your success isn't mine; don't destroy my mind 
I'm strong, not caring around the foothold 
So don't dismay; you're not a danger to me or scold.

When the news gets out, I'll be excited! 
Utterly, the people who love you are glad. 
Despite being almost slain, he was not free. 
Would you aim to be in control? to earn glee
The strength of your domain will fade as per plea.

Your labor and thoughts will be useless.
It's not shocking that you're erroneous.
You've just revealed deceptions thus afar. 
And I remain aloof despite human anger.

Vijay Pandit September 3, 2021 at 5:50 AM Your thoughts deliver nuggets of wisdom, Lasaad. Much to gleam and learn from your poem. Hope you are recovering well.

Eve Roper September 2, 2021 at 5:01 PM Well said, Lasaad. It is so very hard to forgive those who have harmed you over and over; and sometimes what you say doesn't help. For myself , I just dust myself off and walk away not to be seen again by them.

Alexis Y. September 2, 2021 at 2:47 PM Hi Lasaad, I echo what Anitha and Tom said. I hope you are well, my friend. Have a great day-Alexis

Anitha Jayasankar September 2, 2021 at 11:07 AM Yes, we must learn to forgive and forget those who harmed us... Excellent ideas in a well penned rhyme... God bless... ~ Ani

David Kavanagh September 1, 2021 at 1:05 PM We have to try be strong in this life Lasaad, for fear and apprehension will attempt to eat us alive and spit us back out, trust who we hold dear, after that I really don't care what others think they know, brilliant writing, and thought provoking, cheers David

Tom Cunningham September 1, 2021 at 12:55 PM It's better to forgive and try to forget rather than carry unwanted baggage. Tom

Demetrios Trifiatis September 1, 2021 at 2:00 AM A plethora of excellent ideas masterfully displayed for one to admire. Excellently written!

Victor Buhagiar September 1, 2021 at 1:08 AM Incredible poetry. Sometime we feel hurt, but one must forgive and forget. Not easy I know. But live in peace. You are a great poet.

L Milton Hankins August 31, 2021 at 6:55 PM Wonderful, Lasaad. So many fine ideas we can latch onto...each line seemed to stand alone and yet made a fine cohesive poem.
