peace

i am just having a breakdown

should i choose peace or should i choose poem?

i know this is not my home

i am at the stage but

this is not my role

i apologize to all of the audience

i get off the stage

maybe in another show

we'll meet again in peace

Author's Note

"I give up; I bow down to all mankind and apologize: they took me on stage by mistake."

You can find peace within poem. Writing can release build up emotions that need to be released.

I do not like public speaking or standing in front of people so being on stage for me would be terrifying.

I liked the visual this poem gave and it was pictures within my mind.

[Beren]

The more I write poetry, the more I feel like I'm stuck in the past, but maybe it's untying my ropes. I wrote another poem for this.
thank you for your time

[Poetic Beauty]

At first it can seem as if you are living in the past but often their is emotions that have not been relinquished. Letting those emotions out can allow for a more peaceful and forgiving future. Sometimes the only way out is through

[Beren]

thank you. i needed that

[Poetic Beauty]

You are welcome!!

[Neville]

Peace is always preferred but unlike an egg you just can't beat a bloomin good war poem .. Neville

Please do not comment on my poems until I grow up. After reading your poems, it makes me feel ashamed that a master reads my poems.

I want to spend time in your poems without expecting anything in return...
but thanks you are so kind. and this is a nice comment

[Amy R]

Very interesting, I like this,
just I will choose poem over the stage, because I am no public speaker. :)
Writings helps me relieve my emotions sometimes when its to much too.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi! glad to see you here!
I wish you peace outside the stage with poetry. thank you for reading

[Amy R]

Aww, you're welcome, thanks as well

[A.H.]

nothing like peace and poetry both. we are all actors on this life stage, and some else might be pulling the strings, we only realize at the end of the show, may be. for now, we can either go on with the show or get off the stage, either ways, someone else might be pulling the strings. I think, we have to find peace in whatever we do or atleast try to. writing definitely is a great way to release, an outlet to emotions. take care, Beren.

You know your words are the traffic lights at a turning point in my life, right? And they always turn green.Since I don't drink alcohol, I'm going to read some of your poems to relax.

thanks

[A.H.]

drive easy when it's green and make a stop for a break too :) always welcome, hope you have a relaxing read. take care, beren.

[Beren]

It's a rollercoaster for now. but poem keeps me safe

[Everett Dulin]

I've found a lot of times you just get thrown on that stage. You have to keep in mind every show can be improv if you're brave enough. If you had a chance to be heard why give it up?

[Beren]

I am heard but not listened to.
you are right about being improv. thanks dude

[Everett Dulin]

We all want to be listened to, and we all want to be seen. We will never know if either will happen, it's tough. There isn't much comfort I can give other than saying that I listen, and I'm sure tons of others do.

[Beren]

i listen you and i try my best to hear you

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

They can take my eyes but I can still speak. They can take my voice but I can still write. I literally felt this poem on a personal level. Thank you for sharing your poem with us.

[Beren]

wow thank you so much! such nice words! glad this touched you

[Martiya Daman]

Sometimes, you are given the wrong thing or task that you need to apologize and leave, it is normal. I have faced something similar as well, just it was a long time back ago. Peace can be found in poetry and in peace, you can get it by reading, writing & sharing poetry.

You don't need to feel like you don't belong. You will definitely meet back in peace and change everyone's face to be shocked and impressed.

This is easy to read but has a deep meaning. Lovely, Beren! Have a great time ahead, enjoyed my visit.

[Beren]

Ah thank you very much, your words mean a lot to me. glad that you visited. take care

[Thomas W Case]

Superb work. I like your style.

[Beren]

It is an honor to hear this from you. Thanks sir!

[Lorry]

Perhaps the part just wasnt for you, which is a lot easier to admit than the audience not being for you! 😀

[Beren]

Well, that’s actually made me think. This isn’t my end of the story , right?
Thank you for your time sir

[John Fitzgerald]

This is your role. You are the poet and you should be at peace wielding your pen! I like your comment about untying the ropes…first you untie them and then you attach them to something new

[Beren]

Yes, I guess… thank you for your time really, I appreciate it. This poem was about “maybe I should leave writing for a while”. This is game changer

[John Fitzgerald]

Yeah, I get that! I’m very stop start with the inspiration

[Beren]

Cause you don’t need it
