"She Stands" poetry by Slay - a lesson for all of us included

article image placeholderUploaded by @Renee_Slay
She knows the answers deep down within her very heart. She has four kids with whom she can't even try to part. Her husband passed away. It was some time ago. It's been years now. It passes by, it seems so very slow. Times got rough and she couldn't pay the rent. She lost her job and now she hasn't a d*** scent she tried to find work, but what if they're kids?

Hello, Renee. Good morning on this very early zero 332 morning from Florida. This is warpig 73 here. Just want to tell you first and foremost that your poem very moving, very, very enlightening. And after I listened to it quite intently, I immediately became very sad and overwhelmed with a little bit of guilt

And I know that there are those out there that stand with signs and don't need it or use it and abuse it, some that will go buy drugs or alcohol with it. But there are those, and it may be one in a few that will use it for what it's intended for. And it's really not my place to judge. Lord knows I've had enough judgment in my life to have learned that lesson

But people that's from the outside could assume that it's laziness can assume that you are the reason why you were in a situation. So definitely keep them coming because I love portray

And I believe your poem, she Stands, is a challenge for people to see outside of the box, to see deeper than what their natural eye can see, but to see the heart of a person, and even to ask a question rather than assuming they know the answer already. So, well done. Bravo. Well done

Yay. I'm so glad you got the message. I'm so glad you enjoyed my poetry. I'm going to do what I can to keep them coming. Mama, I like this and I like the conversation pieces. So the hot topics. So I hope you continue to listen to my stuff and I'm really glad that you got into it and got the message. You need to start writing again. I want to see some of yours. Alright, thanks so much

And there you have it. You understood everything I was trying to portray with this. This is everything in the message that I was sending because we are so quick to judge and we don't know people's circumstances, and yet we judge repeatedly. And maybe it's time that we stop judging and start having a little bit of empathy towards people. What if it could happen to anybody, came close to happening to me. So thank you for your response, and I hope you continue to listen

Hello, beautiful. That piece was magic. It was so beautifully bittersweet and just so touching and so deeply moving to me. I truly appreciated that piece in all of its mini facets. And I just had to come on to the thread to let you know how it affected me because it was so inspiration advice

I knew when I posted this that you would totally get it. I knew that you would understand every angle I was coming from, especially about the judgment and about not knowing people's stories. And I know for me, I have to be careful about judging not only other people but myself, just not to judge in general. And I tried to walk through this life with as much empathy as I can, being an empath. We are destined for that, but also that's our gift
