Time Travel

This is for everyone of my friends on here and from Mibba & Imesh back in the day.

I’m going back into time,

Year 2008.

Computer in hand,

Lives at stake.

 

My past is full of broken hearts,

Masquerades,

Blood and scars,

The cutter’s mistakes.

 

Year 2008,

That’s the year everything happened

That was the year people were less afraid

To divulge their secrets and their shame.

 

I could imagine as I spoke,

To the people on the other side of my screen,

That tears were splattered on their keyboards

The release.

 

“Your life is yours alone!”

“You are enough.”

I would protest with cloudy eyes

Hoping they would listen.

 

I used to save lives.

What happened to my purpose?

Year 2010,

I got my first boyfriend

 

With boyfriends come a lot of rules.

I was grounded a lot.

My computer was snatched from me,

With every rule broken.

 

That’s where I went.

My priorities changed.

I left all my internet friends

To be consumed by boys.

 

I began to forget my worth,

Lost track of my talents.

I was a damn good writer,

In my eyes at least.

 

I’m back.

Time traveling for a bit,

Just to collect some data.

Hello world.

 

Things pick up here.

Special shout out to Steven.

This is so good and very creative, so nicely written and expressed

[LKBillips]

It's good to look back on the past and realize how far we've come. And all those experiences in between will just add to your renewed writing endeavor. :) You had me reflecting as well. Good stuff.

I wrote something similar. A 10 MINUTE WINDOW.going back in time to reflect and warn myself of the obstacles ahead.uniquely written in your own colorful way I would recommend this for immediate reading to others

[That1Nerd23]

Thank you, that's really encouraging. I'm going to hop over and read your poem!

[Sami Khalil]

A big shout out to Steven. Down memory lane and where life and prioreties change. You are detail-oriented and good.

[That1Nerd23]

He's awesome!

[Sami Khalil]

:).................

[Davidgeo]

Is Steven the dude who is always claiming to be "the president of black people"? That fellow amuses me.

[That1Nerd23]

Yes! My bff!

[Davidgeo]

Ugh. . . .

[That1Nerd23]

Why comment if your going to be negative? Next time, don't. 👍

[Davidgeo]

So, you can only stand to hear good things? How adorable, my little snowflake. You should put up a disclaimer before every poem that says -- "only positive reinforcement please, weak mind at work".

[That1Nerd23]

You can say whatever you want about my writing piece. It's not in my interest, or anyone else's to hear about your opion of Steven. If you want to talk about something other than my piece, feel free to use the resource of your own profile :)

[Davidgeo]

First off, fuckface.... the review was tongue in cheek, you're just taking s**t too seriously/reactionary for whatever reason. Second of all, dumb a*s, you can't say "it's not my interest to hear about your opinion..." when half the point of writing here is to get feedback. You can't expect to ONLY get feedback you want to hear.... which goes back to my response to you a month ago.... "so, you can only stand to hear good things?"

You suck at rhetoric FYI.... I hope you're not a lawyer. Feel free to never interact with me again.

Was having a nice Sunday morning till I read this

[Davidgeo]

Why on earth would you allow complete strangers talking about a thing very irrelevant to you to dictate your personal mood? That's not a good for your mental health.

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Ok not just my mental health
Ok have a good day

[Davidgeo]

It's never a good idea to but in between comment threads like this. It's basically two idiots rolling around in the mud... don't sully yourself by stooping to our level. You're better than that I think.

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

My point is this I’ll still have a good day but the person you directed your rude language to may not words speak a thousand times ok I come on this site to find peace love happiness acceptance etc yes I’m a bit idealistic eccentric even well that’s all I’m saying if I wanted to read bickering I’d go on real housewives and watch it all day yes we have those screaming match shows here anyway I will have a good day bye just wanted to say my view maybe my view will upset others not sure but I hope it didn’t

[Nipplegrinder]

"First off, fuckface"
That truly cracked me up.
One question:
Who the f**k is Steven?!?!

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Ok cheers
Take care all with our words

[Davidgeo]

I just lost a whole bunch of respect for you Julie. What you call idealistic I call the mark of a presumptive social justice warrior. You had no clue as to the fundamentals of this conversation... you just wanted to show us how virtuous you are. The only thing you succeeded in is showing me how virtuous you want people to think you are... it's kinda obvious you don't actually have any purpose on this thread other than that.
