Dear readers, sorry i've been absent. i love reading your works and leaving comments. i love this community. but there is A LOT going on right now, and i can't focus. but i'll be back again soon as things settle down. i look forward to that time i can focus, read and enjoy your poetry and stories, and share my thoughts with you.
On the poem: usually, i do not like to write dogmatically. but, this is something i have been thinking about recently and i decided to share what i have learned. artistically, i hate this piece. but i hope the message resonates with some people.

I had something close to trauma. But not really trauma.
do not give into the temptation
of abandoning all hope.
I think, I had survived is what matters really, over everything.
To give up hope is truly tempting. But do not forsake your only lifeline. It was what had carried us this far. Right?
Just because it may had been "over". We still need to cherish our hope. thank you.
Thank you. Can you tell this to your friends.

Well said, Ern. I would trust you can leave your post when needed. A warrior needs rest, and generosity of spirit includes letting others do and act in your stead.
