Biden's speech + Gorman's poem = *chef's kiss* I haven't felt this hopeful for a while now. Show all 16 comments @Ysweater yes true! my mind went to all the pandemic memes too :P @Roses agreed! Part of the reason it was so breathtaking for me was the way she recited the piece I'd really love to recite poems like that its so powerful :) 1 day ago @Treblemaker I feel the same way, like I get so nervous to read my poems to other people but seeing Amanda Gorman recite her poem so powerfully was really special (for lack of a better word lol) especially considering that she used to have a speech impediment 1 day ago |

Anyone else a bit... I wouldn't say shocked, it's more of "very heavily dismayed" by Trump's farewell speech? I mean, he really did to a ton of stuff during his term (whether you approve of his actions or not, I won't judge), but I feel like all his past accomplishment have been SUPER overshadowed by recent events. Even though most of us here dislike the guy, I think we should all still give him so credit for what contributions he DID provide to the country. Am i right...?
Show all 5 comments Yeah, you're right. Can't let hatred get in the way of applauding for someone who did some right 01/20/2021 - 7:59am Yes I totally agree. 2 days ago Yes. I totally agree 100%, Mysticat. Good or bad, a president is a... well, our president, to put it simply. To be able to take that oath, stand in front of our nation and do THINGS, that’s already no small feat. I don’t think, especially with the recent activities, that Trump is getting the credit he deserves for the amazing economy during his first few years as president, among other things. Yeah, he made some mistakes (granted, some not-really-small mistakes), and he wasn’t the best, but calling someone out for making mistakes doesn’t mean they didn’t do anything good. 2 days ago Hmm... I'd politely have to say disagree. And this is my opinion but just because he was elected president does not mean he did anything good for this country. @Moonsand the economy was actually destroyed this past year because of corona, which could have been prevented if he had told everyone about it and shut down the borders sooner, no offense:/ I also believe that him "Doing things" has been for his, and other rich white peoples benefit. He was impeached twice, which is a terrible record to hold. He sexually assaulted women and was not convicted for it and he spouted racist ideas and was upheld for it. When he lost he started saying it was a rigged election, and incited violence on not just our capitol, but our democracy. Also in his opinion none of the things he did were "Mistakes" as he has never sincerely apologized for anything he has done. Sometimes he apologizes, but really he was forced to by other officials. In fact he has argued why he was right. He deserves to be written negatively into our history books, and I don't believe he deserves any credit whatsoever. Sorry for ranting and being a little mean:( Just wanted to state my opinion. 1 day ago Thank you, Frostbite, I completely agree with with you. Sorry, but Frostbite put it wonderfully:/ Trump’s actions harmed this country far to much to be given credit, not to mention he lied periodically to the country about those actions. He validly deserves a bad place in the history books. Sorry again, but this is my opinion. :( I hope you don’t take any offense. 42 min ago |

A piece of a broken heart fell through the sky, held up by ashy wings. It fell as hard and as fast as the gentle robin sings. The princess in the tower, the knight fighting the dragon, the cop cruising through traffic, the biker pedaling around town, they all paused and looked up as a gentle rain fell down. So absorbed in their own lives, they had forgotten their purpose, they smiled into the rain while others passed them by. One day, they all thought, -they knew- everything would be alright.~MM
wow, I love that! I had such a beautiful image in my mind 2 days ago Wonderful piece of writing! 2 days ago |

I feel like some can relate to being drained and overall tired these past week and I so relate so I figured it'd be nice to make a group poem about it just because we can :)Brain is sluggish Eyes are strained oofed, befuddled- can't explain... Yeah. Tired. Definitely. My brain just won’t work, and I’m just... depleted. Vacuous, empty. What is this thing? Killing me slowly, dulling my view... 01/16/2021 - 11:08pm Eyes flutter closed, Into a dream Force them back open And onto my screen 01/19/2021 - 9:15am |

Yes, I see the sun. Nice.No, I don’t feel its warmth. Yes, I can see the view. Pretty. No, I’m not delighted. The green meadows and creaking swing, they feel so fake, someone else’s dream. Where’s mine? I’m so, so tired. Of myself, of the world, of life. I want to tell my parents, they love me, right? I’m terrified, though. “You have nothing to be tired about, you have nothing to be depressed about. Stop making excuses, get back to work.” Those hurt the most. ah i feel you so much sending hugs to you and my messages are always open :) 01/17/2021 - 10:41pm this is a great poem. please know that you are never alone - I know exactly how you feel (we all do! there's 7 billion people on this planet, someone's always feeling the same way as you. idk if that helps to read but I like to remember that when I'm sad) 01/18/2021 - 7:23pm |
