Start Again
β¨οΈππ₯π§Ύπ₯πβ¨οΈοΈ
I Working In The Detritus And Wreckage
Left By The Wrecking Ball
Of The Hateful Favourities
And Their Despicable Enablers
They Call Me A Mendacious Abusive Cheat
π₯π§Ύπ₯
And The Wole World Believes Them
I Feel Abandoned
But I Will Never Back Down
π₯π§Ύπ₯
Hammering At The Brick Wall Of Ignorance
One Day I Will Make It Fall
Like Jericho
My Power And Endeavour Will Never Diminish
Every Day It Will Get Stronger
π₯π§Ύπ₯
Encouraged By My Friends And Admirers
Sixty Two Days Since The Wrecking Ball Hit
And The Ignorant Perpetrators Just Laugh
They Been Warned
π₯π§Ύπ₯
I Will Be Smiling Soon
That Is Definite

Returning You to the Crowd
There is a kind of love called "Returning You to the Sea of People." I used to think that when two people separated, it was because they no longer loved each other, or because someone had committed a mistake so heinous it brought the relationship to an end.

Instructions Included Challenge Winners
For the Instructions Included challenge, we asked writers to tell a story through instructions and to trust the form to carry what could not be said outright. Across the top entries, that trust paid off in many different ways.

Youβre trying to be sneaky with rhyme, Mikey. Great effort, but not quite prosaic. π
I like the twist you put on this. Worst day, yes, but you focus on climbing up from the abyss and what drives that. Nice work.
Good job on this one Mr. Mike. As always, a lot to think about.
"I Will Be Smiling Soon That Is Definite" That's the way to go when starting over, every time.
