Chin Up
Alternate: Inside and Out.
Intelligence or Ignorance
Big difference?
Which brings us less stress.
What brings us more joy.
I know what taught.
I learnt my lessons, in the wars, I fought.Â
I hate that your right,
Your pleased - I`m wrong.
And you're hunting me down.
As if it's a sport.
Distant dreams… they`re present,  No?
The pain still wades…
It's self-imposed.
Like second-hand burns
And frozen toes.
The pain still wades.
And if it's good it goes...
Like a play on words...
Testify, truthful, dishonest, facts
Continual, contradiction, correlation, lack
Multiply, division, in addition, subtract
Opposing, avoidance, never react
Never respond
Never let them know,
That you skip stones.
Just to
Find shelter
To find hope
Never yield
Never hold it against yourself.
Us it as a shield
Just to protect
Just to pray
You won`t get hurt again.
Chin up.
Stand up.
Then brave the storm once again.
Inside.
AndÂ
Out.
And forevermore.

Wow, Jim! Thank you so much, my friend, In all honestly, I just came back from commenting on your work in a similar light! But I agree, I feel like I`m managing to add a bit more content and meaning in my writes. Thank you for always being a keen supporter of my work Jim. I hope you are well~
Wow, great write! I can see the swirling storm of emotions and senses. Good job Max!!
XD, thanks so much Magic!! I`m really glad my poem was delivered with its intent. Hope you are well my friend. Thank your for supporting my work
Agree with all the above Max, you are getting better and better ...great read which stirs the mind and emotions x
Thanks so much, Marion!! I think feedback from the Cosmos has really helped me grow as a writer. Really glad you enjoyed this one, and as always thank you so much for your support.
Max I agree with what Jim said and can only add, you are on fire my friend and that fire is a bright beacon.
The inner strength and resilience not forgetting visceral emotions you have written and conjured up here are unique.
A real testosterone blockbuster of a poem and after reading feel like I could take on a hungry pack of wolves and a grizzly bear with one hand behind my back.
I'd be killed.Â
For that is how it makes me feel, just raring to go after reading your bold determination and true grit, right stuff uplifting poem.
Thanks Max and keep writing and I'll eagerly keep reading.
Your friend and poetry brother,
Shaun.

Thank you so much Shaun! I like to think of this one like some of my more raw writes, though I always centre around one key verse... and for this one, that actually took years in thought and forging. Glad you got a kick and sense of strength out of this one. The coolest thing about publishing work for me is reading all the differnent interpretations and feelings they create. So I'm really chuffed with your feedback. Thank you my friend~
