Notes About The Poem

I feel there is a fine line between putting things online and showing off, of being private and sharing each others joy, of  being insensitive to those who are constrained and unable to ever do such things, eat such things or are made to feel not good enough, when they are enough. 

 

 

 

Every Thing

Every Thing

      It’s ok not to tell everyone, everything. 
      Your achievements every day,
      everyplace you’ve ever been,
      everyone who’s come your way.
      Not everybody needs to know your day.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.

Indeed there is such a thing called privacy.

Well-stated and well-received on this end. TMI in most venues. :) Linda

That is the reason I do not have any "social" accounts as one is quickly overwhelmed with trivia. Well done! Aloha! Rico
