The "Get Along" Poem
by Aaron
It's a pretty basic concept.
***
Walking away, I mean.
It's not that the world ends in a crash,
Soul-tearing bodily from corporeal form.
Harm manifesting any number of ways.
***
Walking away means the
End.
***
Already it signals instead the beginning of something.
Live.
Love.
***
Contradictions and dissonance be damned,
Owning who you are and what you believe,
Unifying reconciliation leading to betrayal after betrayal.
Long-time friends become enemies,
Damned to eternal separation from your warmth.
***
Great fools fallen upon the altars,
Economic decisions driven by passionless investors
Thread deceit and hate beneath storied foundation.
***
Anyway, there is no changing a mind that will
Laugh in the face of their consequences.
Only accepting that people exist,
Not bound by rules and
Grow accordingly.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

This feels like both a warning and advice, and I like how some of the key lines change depending on how you read them. “Anyway, there is no changing a mind that will Thread deceit and hate beneath storied foundation.” stuck out to me as I read it. Good luck for the challenge😊
Anyway, there is no changing a mind that will Laugh in the face of their consequences. I loved these lines the most! Such a fantastic poem!
"Damned to eternal separation from your warmth" very intense telling line! This one I really enjoyed! I feel like a metal band could be playing in the back-round :D
