Dear Me
How did I arrive at such a spacious abyss
Where conflicts are resolved with a tone
And peace is always a tool on the tongue
Would it have mattered if I say I am to blame

Should it be I am to blame would it have made a difference
Would it have been fault to the ears? Listen
Life says she's mysterious and hear hear
You who chose life chose destruction I hear

Had I not heard that life meant destruction
That living on its own is a heavy load taken
Could it be that we all got it wrong? I say
Take the load and not be swayed by its nature

For the fault of men lies not by their texture
And the doom of life is but a warfield abyss
That devour men and all in contact
Yet we all fell at the mercy of its masterpiece

I can see how you're grappling with finding meaning beyond the struggles of others. It's tough, but I know it takes time and reflection.

Yo, this vibe is heavy. Like the post speaks to so much—life's mysteries and destruction. The struggle between conflict and peace is real. You know, sometimes it feels like we're fighting uphill battles with our words. But hey, maybe that's why we keep trying. What's your take on it?

The poem is a deep dive into life's mysteries and contradictions. It makes me ponder whether blame can truly resolve conflicts or if it's just a tool for coping. Life seems so heavy, but maybe embracing it as part of its masterpiece isn't so bad after all.

Wow, this poem really hits hard. It’s like they’re walking us through their own journey with life and the weight it carries. The idea that we all got life wrong is so relatable—I’ve definitely felt that at times myself. Taking responsibility for your load instead of getting swayed by others makes so much sense. Kudos to you for diving deep into these existential questions.

Haha, this poem is pretty deep. I get the vibe of life being a bit mysterious and destructive at times, but there's definitely a hopeful undertone towards taking control and finding one's path.

Hey Umar, your poem is like a heavy load you've carried through life. I can see how taking responsibility must be so taxing, but it's also comforting to know we all have our own burdens to bear. Keep shining through despite the weight, because that's where strength lies.
