Inverted

Hi Cat ! Good poem ! I think being afraid of losing it to anger is really a bad thing. I think if one fears or loses control of anger to the point of others' getting hurt it is so important to become assertive when anger starts to arise. Why am I getting angry? What is the best way to handle my anger so I don't damage myself in any way or someone else. Tough skills to learn in fact some never do and some just don't want to do the work - don't care. Some say the opposite of love is not hate but rather anger because hating someone won't do any damage but anger is a driving emotion, nobody has control over it arising. Control comes in with what we do :) Wow! Was that a lecture? Hope not ! Just some thoughts by this old guy lol Joy and Peace, Mark

I thought Edge wrote that, didn't see the line down there at the bottom lol

Hello Candlewitch, a strong poem with a steely subject.very well written,congrat... Rahbar.

Somehow I picture two things at the same time. A murderer convincing himself/herself that what they are going to do is right and inverting it to themselves being the victim and yet I also get the picture of someone desperately crying out for help because they are trying to kill the twisted creature/emotion within. I started to say that there were a couple of rough spots, but I think it actually feels better to me the way it is. Powerful write. Rett ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Some call me lazy, I prefer Energy Conservationist~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That's P.C. speak by the way.

than meets the eye Cat. To me the slayer is the side that wants more than you have and whose anger is at the weak victim who hangs on steadfastly to what they have got and knows their limitations. It is that knowledge and dedication, even though fuelled by weakness and fear, that makes the victim stronger than the killer who is merely a helpless prisoner of impossible need. Whatever the interpretation though I loved the poem. Keith

Cat you learned far to well my girl. This is excellent Edge is getting stringer be careful. I suppose Isis has to answer this one? Excellent Excellent write. I felt every bit of the bitters , hate and anger in this. In fact this is pretty much how I feel right now so maybe that is why I felt it as I did It does me proud to see how far your writing has come , you have surpassed your teacher, my job is done Chrystalie

A very strong 15 lines and then a twist [inverted?] very nice piece!

Wow, I think I'm going to be scared of alleyways for quite some time now. Edge just sounds like a rough dude. Excellent write, Cat! Off to read WWIS (what would Isis say?) lol! ~Jess K. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~ "Everyone needs to believe in something.

Emotions play a key-role here. There are two different sides of one's personality, the fight between them makes the entire personality to evolve or to fall down swiftly; now it depends of how equilibrate are these two sides. Inverted indeed, because in life we need both in a continuously circle. Well done Cat Best regards, Marius
