i cant explain why but this feels so warm !! i really like it :)

oh i really liked reading this. it was beautiful and heartfelt and touching!!

lovely !! changed it just now :]

perfect, thanks!

love the format, feels like somewhat of a hero's journey - the process of unravelling and rebuilding one's identity. Thank you for sharing, and congrats on your first prompt!

thank you sm for joining !! this is such a beautiful piece (i v much agree & love that i can feel a journey through it). can't wait to see your future entries :]

it's incredible how much soul you can condense in shorter pieces, your last entry is very bittersweet. also in love with last week's prompt, came out really well!

@ryomakesthings Thank you!! Most of my poems start out longer and I cut them down in editing but this is also me being obsessive about making every word have a meaning

"i'd wash my hands but the blood keeps coming" yoooo. love this imagery!!

I actually really like how short it is, it's concise! also like the use of biblical references when describing the corporeal and the mundane, though that is something I personally always find beautiful

ohhhh i love your writing and the imagery running through it!!! it's so potent and raw!

I really like the contrast between the reverent tone of the piece and the visceral imagery scattered throughout, I think it works really well!

woah this is so cool!!! i really like your writing style :)

i love this so much, "I pray i will be less wounded in death" is SO good

😎 Is this your new home page now?

I really like the idea of evolution as a conscious progress, as something you can shape and choose for yourself. powerful stuff, thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this. I feel the same, sometimes I feel like I was born wrong. I hope you're able to live your life how you want to. ^^

I love your writing too!

I might have answered the prompt wrong though.

oh this is such a wonderful piece! i love the changes in focus and how you used something usually man-made in contrast with the idea of nature and its' selections, ebbs & flow. thank you for sharing :] and there's no wrong way to answer a prompt. it's an inspiration, not a test. i'm glad you got something from it 💗

Agreed that there is no wrong way to answer a prompt! I love the font choice, by the way. It's pleasing AND easy to read.

@tehuan Thank you! I love the questions and I understand that they're super abstract but sometimes my brain feels like it has a legit hard time understanding them so I feel as though I'm doing something wrong still lol. The questions get me thinking, regardless!

@owlroost Thank you! The font is called Simple Plan. Easy to read is what I was looking for so I'm glad it's a success. ^^

I love the parallel between human creation and human existence - evolution as a certain inevitable cyclicality. concise yet beautiful!

Love this and I think it answers the prompt

such impressive writing, very picturesque and well-crafted yet speaking to a very raw inner world. both a joy to read!
