Hi Jason, this short poem really packs an emotional punch. Regarding divorce, it is definitely a shock to a person’s self-confidence. I think a large problem is the way society tends to frame divorce as if it is a “Failure.” Sometimes, divorcing and stepping away from an abusive or simply dysfunctional relationship is actually an act of kindness to your own mental health (and quite possibly the other person). I enjoyed reading your poem. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you Jenny! This was very encouraging and on point!
Such painfully profound words. A reality many have lived…
Thanks! It is a tough road for sure.
I can see how that feels logical.
Thanks for reading… I am still processing what starting over looks like.
With the right person, it will be easy and stress free
Simple but true, about a lot of things.
Thanks Julia! Good to hear from you 🙂
nice Jason! Nice attempt!
Thanks Carol Anne!
