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.

Your thoughts deliver nuggets of wisdom, Lasaad. Much to gleam and learn from your poem. Hope you are recovering well.

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.

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

It's better to forgive and try to forget rather than carry unwanted baggage. Tom

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.

Wonderful, Lasaad. So many fine ideas we can latch onto...each line seemed to stand alone and yet made a fine cohesive poem.
