Blockchain Poets - Prompt - Mother

in #hive-1614652 years ago

You've lived through my pain
You've been the bearer of my lies
If i could change the world
I'd curse out all of the evil
And you'd be the only person i'd let breathe
You made me into a man
That gives it all to anyone that calls
I sometimes expect the same in return
But that's not what you taught me
I remember the times when the world could pass me by
And i wouldn't wish for a single change
That's when i was your son
Before i was a man
Before i learnt the dance of shame

Before i learnt the dance of shame

This last line seems to have a meaning I can't comprehend. If you don't mind, can u please elaborate on what u meant by dance of shame.

Indeed mothers play an amazing role in every child lives.

Nice write up.

before innocence was lost was what i was going for, thanks for the comment!

Oh, thanks for the comment.

🥺

So lost after the first read. So connected after the second read. Your words were totally indirect yet direct at some points. Correct me if I am wrong, but this poem is dedicated to mothers, right? A very nice attempt.

Writing about close ones is such a deep and sensitive topic...The expression ''dance of shame'' is a strong one. I like it. I also find your drawing nice chosen in this context. It connects me with the idea of roots and family.

Thanks, happy wishes.

Very nice poem is special and also I love the drawing reflects well what you feel, thanks for sharing.
