I love the new poem so much - the promise of conformity can feel comforting at times, yet for so many of us it is nothing more than a slow-acting poison. thank you for putting it into words so beautifully, the love and hope in this piece are inspiring!

you're so sweet, thank you so much! i defiinitiely think the way we ask ourselves to conform can sometimes be euphoric, but also really harmful sometimes, n it was nice to acknowledge that while still showing respect for all the collected knowledge on how to pass, etc

incredibly resonating. its so frustrating when you finally discover who you are, yet instead of being able to bask in the joy of that you have to constantly keep fighting what feels like a losing battle of conformity. oh can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all...

I like this, in a sense it feels like an ode to life itself in all its facets through the cyclicality of the oroborous. I think your passion for its imagery shines through very clearly!

this made me smile a lot as i read it. i like the ouroboros too and this poem felt so earnestly joyful and appreciative of the cyclicality of the cosmos!

thank you for sharing this with us, it's a very powerful and evocative poem - can't speak for the original piece but it's a great translation, I'm sure the former is just as biting!

ryo, this is beautiful and very potent. it gives me the impression of an ancient message carved into stone, lost to eternity and found millennia later. - shades

Thankfully, I get more than ten years to live if this diagnosis gets confirmed. I just won't be able to work or live independently for as long as I'd hoped for.

your writing is so beautiful and moving, and absolutely devastating. the hope that runs through it is so powerful despite how terrible the circumstances are. please keep that hope alive, and stay safe. thank you for sharing your writing! - j
The part where you're looking up at your body at thinking it isn't you yet it's still responsible for much of what you experience in life is very relatable and saddening to me as someone with chronic illnesses. Thanks for sharing and I hope you keep doing your best with the body you've got.
