Plabi Pradhan Poet Rhyme

I never leave, I outgrow

What they do, they all know.  
They breadcrumb, sugarcoat,  
they love-bomb, gaslight,  
or sometimes just hoover or go with the flow.  
But I cry and try till the end,
losing self-reliance, going insane; 
because later I don't wanna feel sorry.  
I can't live with a heavy chest full of thoughts of hurting others,  
I don't wanna live with a repenting memory.  
I can't let my head to bow  
in guilt, in fear, in sin...  
thus, I never leave, I outgrow.

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 29, 2026 at 10:22 AM Hello Palabi, Congrats on POTD where honesty, the kind you only write after you’ve outgrown someone and finally admit it to yourself. I like how the refrain lands like a correction to your own history: I never leave, I outgrow. It’s a hard truth.
