Our Sides

I feel like this place is kind of falling apart

So come on friend

Lets go for a fight

Lets make false statement of people

Come on now friend 

Time is trange

I don't care what they think 

We chose our sides

For the people we are with

But what is the point? 

You know, words divide us 

Into our sides

A simple word can make us

be a the edge of our destruction

I can't remember when 

This place was a nice writing site

Now every day I see hate and sadness

Every night I dream 

For this place to be back again

You know 

We make wars that nobody wins

Now this wars

Divide us into sides

You chose your side

I'll chose my side

I remembered 

When we're fine

Writing and in hapiness 

So why can't we returned back? 

Forget all of this

and lets get back for our real

Real motivation

The creation of art

The creation of our writing

Reviews

[Willard Wells]

Many visions came to me as I read your piece and you expressing your disappointment in changes not for the good and you want things to change back to the way they were. Usually I have found you can never go back. You cannot recapture your childhood or youth, but you can go on to improve yourself and others to create a better world by staying true to yourself and honest with others. i think you expressed both in this work. Nicely done and thank you for sharing.

I do understand also your words about this site and writing. Some people review with hard comments and I expect to some abuse. When reviewing if you cannot find some positive to add along with your hopefully constructive criticism then don't say anything.

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much for you amazing review, but its true, sometimes people review to harsh, its better constructive criticism in a positive way. Thank you Willard, I really appreciete it!

[Willard Wells]

A person grows stronger in life with positive reinforcement and negative thoughts can break many a man.

[Lizardo]

Thanks for the review!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

You are welcome.

[Jamestown]

Well written and delivered!
If people are hurting one another on a site as wonderful as the cafe, then
these people need to look in the mirror and evaluate what kind of person
they are. To be able to have a fantastic place like the cafe to express ourselves
and to enjoy poetry and friendship is a blessing, one to value not to take advantage
of, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[Lizardo]

This is a site for writing! it is its only purpose!
Thank you so much for this great review!

[Taylor]

Well said. If anyone offends, ignore them or send roses to them with a little message that you're sending them some love because they're obviously hurting.It's like bad behavior in a child. Usually that's motivated by the need for attention. If the the child doesn't get positive attention on a regular basis, many will make certain they get SOME attention by demonstrating behavior that's very difficult to ignore. Thus, the premise that negative behavior is better than none. Those same children grow into adults and wreak havoc all around themselves. They're actually very sad, lost people who yearn to be loved but don't know how to engender love. Sometimes they're so toxic, we just have to protect ourselves from them--that's what the block writer tool is for on this site. So roses, Lizardo, roses.

[Lizardo]

Some times we need just to ignore, but sometimes it just get way to complicated.
But I agree with everything you say Taylo, thank you so much for this awesome review!I really appreciete it

[jacob erin-cilberto]

amen...i do agree, just ignore the bad ones...all they want is attention.

and we might give that attention to the writers who labor over the love of poetry for the right reasons.

always drama...and it is sad...because who do poets really have except each other...it is not the genre most loved by readers...fiction, novels...short stories usually win out...so we should be kind and support one another.

[Lizardo]

Its something I've seen lately Jacob, and it really gets me mad because this site is for writing not for fighting! To create not to destroy.

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much Nisreenaa! It's something I've seen in this website, there's always fights or something goes wrong, I just want this place to be for its real purpose

[B]

You need to add different friends though
Get to know new people
I am your first :)

[Lizardo]

That is very true

[B]

So nice to meet you .... I love your work .... My name is Nisreen :)
What is yours ?

[Marie]

There's always been drama on this site. People get in who shouldn't get in and say things that are better left unsaid, The best thing is to simply ignore them.

[Lizardo]

Better words I cannot find Marie, The best thing is simply ignoring them. But still, I know we're humans and we have our differences, but still, this is a place for writers who want to create, not for writers to destroy

[Melinda McQueen]

Great poem to get off your chest.

[Lizardo]

Thanks it really helped a lot, but the only thing is that I want this website for writing, I mean, I've seen many fights here so I just want this place for writing, not for arguing or something (Sorry for my grammar)

[closed]

Thats exactly what we should be doing

for the true artists out there like you and I lizardo

that's what really matters

not senseless fighting over things that shouldn't concern us

but writing^

[Lizardo]

I don't like being involved or anything, I just want this place to be for writing, not for fighting.

yeah, hopefully works like this can usher in a new literary movement here at the cafe
