Self-loathing/Worth

that describes how I'm feeling at this moment. thank you for reminding me that I'm in this state only for a day. great poem .love love loveit.

ah Rosi i would have been crying without the ending of this poem! We all feel like that sometimes but life has a way of bringing us back up after a few moments! I can promise you that nothing is as bad as it seems even in the worst situations! shirley harrison

Rosina, I know how you have been feeling recently and this one reflects those inner emotions. I hope this write helps to expel the feelings and brings you out the other side full of energy and life. How can one ignorant individual bring back my obsession for hate Feeling weak, my emotions are gone lost in a mind, where I can’t think straight awesome stanza, you worked that well...I can see another side to you with this write. Well done and i am pleased you chose to continue posting your work and leave 'issues' in the gutter where they belong! Good job, your friend, Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".

Hey you, don't hate yourself because you're BEAUTIFUL as you are. That's about IT, Rosina. It's all beautiful, too, even those who you would deem *ignorant individuals*. Some day maybe even tomorrow, you'll see that these individuals took you somewhere you needed to be... past your feelings of self-loathing. But enough about me.... let's talk about you. (See, I understand, I've been t/here long enough to wallow in my own self-righteous, self-serving, brilliantly creative misery.;-) ~A p.s. Good platform for the continuing drama of being human, of music, of the stuff of life. We are sooooooooooooooooooo fully-faceted as human beings, aren't we? p.p.s. Good endling lines. Well done. p.p.p.s Did I tell you I like this poem? p.p.p.p.s. Have a great day, you're A-ok. "Just as what you dream is your own and no one else can observe it, so the world you see is your own." ~ Nisargadatta

Clever ending, sad, vulnerable, suicidal, until the end. Well done. Love Mand

Love yourself, never hate For if you hate yourself How will you ever love? This world has given us A single opportunity That I must say Love today Let tomorrow come As another today, So love all you would Just love em all I pray thats why i am known as LOVED

After all is said and done in here it is all about you the poet, the person. No matter how people look at you or think of you. You are who you are and everyone has their own style, their own personality. Never allow anyone to knock you down, and if for one moment they do you pick up your feet and you keep writing. Only you have the power within you to step above the plate. You are a strong woman and you can do this. Always remember we can not control others, But we do control how we act or react to people.. When someone knows of your weaknesses (as everyone has them) and they continuously play on them, this is not a game. This should never be played with anyone. You must remember there may be other reasons besides "just being" Some like attention and maybe some don't. This is a poetry workshop and why in the world would we be taking this more serious then anything else in life? This is a computer, it is not our neighbor, sometimes we take this stuff maybe a little bit too seriously, when in all actuality it is not as serious as what we put into it or how we react to it. I too, came here to learn and grow and that is all it should be. Of course we are all human beings also. Sometimes things are not in our best interests of an individual and we must respect each other or at least try a little harder to. We need to rise above it and go forward. It is best to ignore. You have that right. It is all in learning here. Just as in human contact, except it is so easily done through a closed door on a keyboard, typing on a screen, as anyone can say, shout, complain, refrain, degrade, insult, play silly games, and the list goes on. We are not here to judge anyone either. We are all here to help one another at least that is how I look at it. Are we here to help us all grow as writers? In my humble opinion this is the only thing we should be concentrating on. Xena my friend not everyone that types on a computer is honest, kind, compassionate, loving, caring, it just dosen't work that way and I know you know that. There are cyber stalkers, bullies, predators, hackers, the list goes on. It is all over the internet. You see it on tv, you read about it in the papers. I am talking in general here NOT ABOUT THIS SITE, so don't everyone get in an uproar over this. This is my comment to Xena whom I care for as a person and a friend. Xena you write from the heart, soul and mind. Whatever you write is yours to display for your readers. This is not a contest to see who is the best it is in learning about writing styles and your writing. You have every right to say and write of the subjects and titles you so desire. Acceptance of anything or everything DOES NOT not have to match to everyone's taste or liking. Learn what you can and discard the rest. Only you know what is good and helpful for you the writer, you the person. . I would apologize for this long comment, but at this time I shall not. I feel an urge to comment on this poem, not to rate it excellent, bad, good, indifferent, stars or no stars. I am rating it on you the person, the poet you are. Xena. Never allow anyone to take anything from you that you hold inside for after all it is yours, and yours alone. They may call me a compassionate caring woman and whatever that does not concern me anymore here. I am Mona. I can only speak what is in my heart and mind at this time. No offense is given here and no offense should be taken. You continue your writing as I have noticed in the last couple of weeks how you have improved immmensely. Keep up the good work and learn as much as you can. My comments are always honest and truthful to you, as I am to others. This part of the poem is good also, almost forgot to say: but, what the Hell! “I’m not that pathetic” This is another day, not yesterday! I love you my Xena Rosalina friend. And yes I do care. Love and Hugs at you today Mona TIME well spent is TIME well lived

As none are without fault or sin few have the right to throw stones in direction of those merely trying to slay demons slowly dying And those who toss so helter skelter they must be seeking unfound shelter from their own self-loathing hate which refuses to abate So remember my true friend even evil comes to end so if a detractor gets too course remember to consider source!! P.S. good release.....Stan

What a truthful take on human frailty. I struggle with it every day, which is why I enjoyed your comments on my work so much. It truly is difficult to pick yourself up and go on sometimes, when you feel that noone understands or supports you. LOVE the ending... Thanks for sharing this

bravo on this well done well worded what can i say sticks and stones,lol loving it 5 stars well earned ,,zigs ..........x

Take all the time you need, i would like some insperation from you! Much love and suprise me! if you do i bet money it will be breath taking! shirley harrison

From just once not giving up will grow your confidence ... little steps turn into big ones ... sad poem but I liked the statement lines at the end had me worried for a minute love and hugs JayCee x x x P.S I called you Xena today to let you know your showing some of your namesakes spirit ;)rosina :) smile ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.-Ivan Panin")

because I love her and her sidekick. I agree with Mona. That said when it comes down to it. Someone insults you or anyone on here. I will speak my mind. Poetry is in the heart of the beholder. And your poetry touches my heart. You have a lot of friends and fans on here. I'm both. Take Care. huey

This is a very personal write, I am glad you could overcome the dangerous emotions. :) Now for the harder part for me, a critique X( It seems I'm all alone here but I am left discontent, because I've seen a lot of writes from you that I personally love a lot more. I noticed an overuse of weak in such a small space: weaknesses, weak, vulnerabilities, weaken. Also the last line bothered me because 'yesterday' and 'another day' were paired up, but now I think I'm just getting picky. Don't let this get you down, I love most your work, this ones just not my flavor. I hope this is constructive Peace and cheers, logic
