- "We come from a dark abyss, we end in a dark abyss, and we call the luminous interval life. As soon as we are born the return begins, at once the setting forth and the coming back; we die in every moment"

- "Same. Even though I don't really believe, they excite me very much. I know many of the members of “the satanists of Palliniâ€, who went to jail for human sacrifices. Greece is full of ancient altars, that occultists still use.
PS I'm not involved in criminal activities!"

- ""Someone that I know", has a book written by a cult he was in, fortunately, he left before most of the members went to jail for sacrificing an infant (it's own mother was a member an guild made her speak openly). That "someone" still has the book they all helped write well hidden. Interesting stuff. I'm no plagiarizer though. This one I wrote myself."

- "Love it! I like how emotional your poem is. I like how you don't care about size. So you probably won't end up writing bullshit to make it longer (I hate fillers, they only make your poem longer, but they --most of the times-- are at least mediocre, and ruining it. I could show you one of mine as an example. When you start saying (while reading it for the first time) something in the lines of "ooh this is goooooood", you find one of those filler verses and say something like "why? why would he add this? Did he get a stroke, or is this a filler?" then again you say something like "hmmm, interesting", and so it goes.... on and on and on..... I love it. Don't add more verses if you don't feel like doing it or if the feeling you had while typing it is lost. You, probably, don't want to make it look like it was written by two people. "

- "One of my worst works, but really reminds me of what you wrote (of course you write a lot better). But I feel like sharing it with you, after reading this and some of your comments. I've never done this before. No need to read it. Honestly.... No worries...

- "S.W.I.M says writing helps. Try philosophy as well. Especially western philosophy (Aristotle's child). It help you focus trying to understand what you're reading that leaves no time to make negative thoughts, or think of substances."

- "Good luck man. Drugs, even meds when abused are bad. Try to stay away from everything and use meds just as a way to get a kick on the butt and start doing things, but don't make using them a habit. They are not the means to go where you want to go, but mere tools, that can help you a bit. If you see it the the upside down, then as S.W.I.M. told me, medication withdrawal can be 100times harder than drug withdrawal, and he's not the only person who says so.
I wish EVERYONE (especially those who are in pain, have a substance abuse problem, et cetera) a happy new year. May all of your wishes come true (be it health, true love, true happiness, et cetera). Just keep in mind that money / fortune is not the means of acquiring those, but could be used as; tool to acquire them.
We seek fortune only in favor something else, because fortune will not bring us any goods by itself, but only when using it --whether is it for the support of the body, or of any other similar reason. Now, the highest good is sought for it's sake and not for the sake of something else. So this essentially means that fortune is not the highest good of humans.
You who fight with substance abuse (replace "fortune" with "medication", et cetera). You can do it. S.W.I.M. is a weak, fragile person who was using at least a dozen different meds/drugs, and did it. So if he can, you can too!"

- "I rated it with a 9 in case I read something better, but this is so far the best thing I've read in D.P. No real critique, just wanted to tell that I love it, and that I know those feeling all too well, which makes it even better. I've even written something (pretty bad) and the first couple of verses and maybe some more here and there from your poem remind me of that. It's pretty bad, I'm not being modest, I know it, and I intend on fixing it, but I'd love you to read it. I'd be honored.
S.W.I.M. used to find ways to get high (higher that using opioids / amphetamines) even with medication that you can get without prescription --nothing was enough anymore, he had become too tolerant. Although it was so unhealthy, that even though he didn't get amputated or things that happened to others. There were days like that one when he was trying so hard to find the femoral vein, that he --being unable to find it-- used the artery. He told me he never felt something like that (it was like dying), he just shouted with all of his strength "I'm dying", and then his parents found him with his pants down and a huge (21gauge / 10mL) syringe stuck near his ...

- "I'm not sure if your comment was good or bad for me. Made start making crazy thoughts again. Although it's a comment that brings hope. Maybe de-evolution (an oxymoron term that I tend to use often lately) isn't happening after all. Maybe I just chanced upon the wrong kind of people. Also I was wondering about that "2 poems with the same name; the same night": are they by the same person? If not, it's pretty common for people who've been writing for a long time, but just found the courage to publish their work. Took a decade to post any of my work (part of it being I'm a bad poet), and around 6 years to start using a real photo of myself."

- "I'll bookmark this one so that I re-read it later, because I'm in no condition (in my opinion) of judging poetry. So I could give you my opinion on it --more constructive critique that just "I liked it". That is if you'd like to, I've been looking for one but I only criticism that contains no arguments or reasoning especially for the little things (why you chose this word instead of that word, et cetera). Surely, I guess that even "I love it" / "I hate it" type of comments help. Also trying to interpret you work is a sign that someone really read it, but they don't help me as much as the critique I'm looking for."

- "And one last thing. DO NOT add verses just as filler in series. Don't ruin a good poem, if you don't have more good ideas by adding mediocre verses to make it longer. I do it sometimes, and I hate myself for doing it. Good job!"

- "Thank you for sharing a poem full of metaphors / symbolisms with us. A lot of us have been there, and this one brings feeling and memories in mind better than pictures / videos / et cetera.
I wish EVERYONE (including you, your family / friends / et cetera) a happy new year. May all of your wishes come true (be it health, true love, true happiness, et cetera). Just keep in mind that money / fortune is not the means of acquiring those, but could be used as; tool to acquire them.

- "I usually don't like it when people try to interpret poems. Spoils most of the fun for me. This comment though I don't mind. Been there, done that. Good poem, great comment!"

- "I've just read a poem where a guy used the opposite way a word that I wrote on the chatter. plus his ideas where utterly stupid. And now this? Why? Why are there no comments on this one? I said I'd rate with 5 the pretty good ones so that I had numbers left for better ones. Would it be okay to give you an 8-9 in case I read something better? I love it. You most certainly have been through such a "love". If so, keep hoping and trying, there's someone for almost every one of us out there."
