That part

Woah, I must say this is quite intense, dear David! Sometimes, those introspective thoughts can lead to an overwhelming vulnerability.. especially for us poets.. as we feel and think everything jus too deeply. I really love those quoted lines that reflects the thoughts so brilliantly! And also "But I’m the damage done that I cannot correct And you, this other voice are that part I can’t accept " Ahh, absolutely resonating to the core.. I am taken to a different dimension whenever these sentiments shake my heart.. that inner contradiction and the costant contrasting urge to deny the reality.. sigh. Absolutely a pleasure reading your words always! Sending you stars and sunshine! 💛 🌙 ⭐ 💎 ⭐ 💫

This is quite a reflective conversation you’re having with yourself. David. Some would call it a reality check but when I have them it’s more like a sibling argument in which no one wins. I can be too detailed oriented, so it’s often I ask myself ‘what ifs’ and after the debate I still have no right or wrong that I can call factual. 🦋

“And you, this other voice are that part I can’t accept “ what an exquisite ending that is dear David! I know this feeling so well. I think many can resonate with this. Those thoughts we need to sometimes reflect, and think about, for self awareness to a journey of healing… I like the way youv quoted thoughts, it gives a very real raw vibe to your poem! Sometimes I would say, what works best is to sit with those thoughts, let them ebb and flow~ Pleasure reading you today Sending you light always 💫

Well written!

Hello David, a deeply raw, psychologically sharp piece of work. It’s so easy for reflection to slide into self-protection, and that tension between wanting to deflect and being forced to confront "that part" gives the poem its powerful, restless pulse. Acknowledging the voice of regret not as an outside force, but as an inescapable part of oneself that remains hard to embrace, takes immense courage on the page. David, what a hauntingly honest and masterful exploration of memory, guilt, and the inner dialogue we carry. Blessings, Daniel

I think sometimes the worst thing to do is to try not to think a thought through (I'd love to hear you say that 😅) what's to say any one of us wouldn't be just a shadow of our current selves if not for what came before? Should I be thinking that I might lend the view of a close friend rather than my own to qualify it sufficiently. Perspective is hard to get when inside your head. Great monorhyme occuring here David, as always I love the cadence - bouncy to fit a thought bouncing around 😊
