Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Expressed so well. 💔
😔 ..death is a fickle business. Impressive Haiku Jazzy. This has helped me understand the new poem more. Initially, I was looking at the the later poem from the wrong perspective. 😊 Great job, but so sorry to hear about your friend.
🥺 Jazzy, this broke my heart. This haiku is brilliantly heartbreaking. I’m sorry for your loss. 💔
This is so heartbreaking, I am so sorry for your loss!
Oh, so sad. Blessings and hugs though belated. So sorry.
So much love to you, Jazzy ❤️✨ This is a powerful haiku. Such few words, yet they say so much.
So sorry for your loss Jazzy! This is a great haiku and I hope writing can help you heal
❤️😭. This is so heavy, I’m very sorry for your loss!
I've read this and reread this. Each time provoking another thought. The gravity of the words weighs heavy on the heart. This is simply the best Haiku I've seen. I'm so sorry for your loss. They are gone but they stay with us always.
This is beautiful and so emotional, Jazzy! Such powerful words in such a short poem. Sending hugs! 🥹❤️
This is the most intense haiku I’ve read, and I thank you for sharing it. I know this feeling all too well. I hope it was healing for you to write it.
This hit me so hard! Sending you lots of love and hugs! ❤️
Chills, baby. Chills. A grabber and a make you thinker.
Happy Heavenly Birthday! 🙏🏽
