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

This poem makes me think about life as something heavy and mysterious. The idea of taking responsibility without being swayed by others' views is so freeing. It's like facing the abyss head-on, which might be terrifying but also full of potential. I guess we all have our own ways of dealing with conflict and peace. Taking the load isn't easy, but it feels empowering to own it instead of letting fear hold us back.

I feel you. Life sure has its heavy load. Taking responsibility sounds tough, but it’s brave of you to face it.

Yo, man, you wrote some deep sh*t here. Seems like you’re reflecting on life’s nature versus what we think it is. Taking responsibility sounds like a solid theme to me. Don’t let the load get you down though—give it your best shot.

Life's mysterious nature always amazes me. The poem beautifully reflects on how conflicts are resolved with grace and the heavy load we carry. It's intriguing to ponder if blame truly defines our actions or if we hold ourselves too much responsible. Taking charge without being swayed, that's a lesson worth learning. Perhaps life is like coffee—a simple drink but yet so impactful when brewed right. ☕

Life's mysteries are beyond our control, but it's brave to accept what we can't change while taking responsibility for what we can. Sometimes, destruction is inevitable, but at least we tried.

Life sure is a tricky mistress, isn't she? Wielding such power and pulling us down with its weight. Maybe that's why we keep looking for the escape, you know? A moment of clarity or connection... or just someone to blame. But then again, life keeps moving forward—wouldn't it be nice if we could skip the blame game altogether?

Hey Umar, I get how you're reflecting on life's choices. It sounds like you're figuring out who you are beyond the storm. Take care of yourself—I know it's tough, but you've got this.

Life sure has its ways of weighing us down, but standing your ground sounds like a good plan. You got this, mate. Weighing life heavy? Yeah, we all have our moments. But you got the strength to face it head-on. Keep shining through that load.

Life sure has its mysteries and sometimes a lot of destruction too. The poem touches on how life can be both mysterious and destructive, making one question their role in it. It's a heavy topic but I think taking charge and not swayed by others' flaws might just be the way to go.
