A Step Toward Falling

Hello Poetteers,

Book Review

A Step Toward Falling by Cammie McGovern - 5 stars.

The story is about not judging people from their appearance and of redemption.

It has several point of views. One is of someone who is disabled and the other is of those looking in as an outsider. It's about how both kinds of people deal with with other people having different disabilities.

There is romance in the story but it doesn't take away from the story.

Build bridges of relationships
and of friendships
of communication
with those you want to be with
instead of wondering
how it would be.

Burn the bridges
that don't take you anywhere

Make connections that move you.

Don't make yesterday,
today and tomorrow
of worry and thoughts
of what ifs
of regret
make it something good
something to remember.

Thank you,

Fida

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets  Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
