Few tiny little words with a thunderous impact into the depth's of human psyche.

Oh yes others opinion and/or words can mean death or glory to our future, at least in our own psychical stability!

Your poem is very thought provoking and inspiring. Absolutely great! Thanks for it!

A favorite!

There is no such a thing as bad as breaking a spirit. Those who do are victims of a worst kind of violence...
Heart Wrenching!

Hmm.. It made me think a lot. I'm not sure I understand though haha. I was expecting something like "and once again i'll let them think what they want to think." so your last line baffled me. Then, I realized I had to look at it in a way that was not my own reflexive, human thought process. I realized that the person is going with the flow, you know. I guess that's both beautiful and slightly depressing. Like, if it was just observing them saying that and living life anyway, i'd say go with the flow, but something about the "i'm going to believe it" sort of hints at sadness, maybe lost with the roller coaster, holding on. Donno :). Interesting view :-P.

This is sad. So few words but such depth to them. Words hold power and I think that the words you chose for this poem have an impact. Your poem caused me to stop and think. This is really good work.

oo. sad. what a raw intellection.

Very interesting, a look inside what they said, and answering with you going with the piece. Nice idea, thanks for sharing

[Danielle Asher]

my two first reactions were, Ouch and who is them?

strong piece! nice work.

How can so few words have such a momentous impact? You've managed to strike a fine balance here, with using few words and expressing complete thoughts. It's a beautiful things. I sense weary resignation in the speaker's tone.

In using few words, you allow the reader to draw several different conclusions. I love it when this happens. Fun stuff.

I actually gave this write a couple of reads and...
I found it very much deep and vivid.
Amazing write! :)

They have no authority, resistance to them is still one of the keys - if not the only - to Life, Love ...
Though I don't always agree with the content, I read several poems of you and I like your style of writing very much ... very good poetry (ignore this minuscule detail, for I would prefer not to say it, but a little typo in 'again' strikes the eye as it is a short poem ;)

Why die in my sleep? To forget everything ... oblivion ...

this is intense. it brought me in many different directions. made me think of how people can beat us down, get the best of us, and we allow it (believe it) i love the succinct briliance of this. great write
