| Be gentle with yourself!
I do – I don’t I can’t, I won’t I will get stoned |
Be authentic!
I might, if I tried but my hands are tied – I’m afraid I’ll die of fright |
| Go love yourself!
I would if I could I know I should – never mind, I’m good |
Turn the other cheek!
I can – It hurts I will – still Bring it on – I deserve it |
The prompt today at octpowrimo.com was What do you want, one of the suggested forms a dialogue. This is where it led me. The form happened because I felt this is not a linear poem, and the stanzas can change position. I rarely rhyme, and I think this poems shows why 🙂

Some powerful words here.
The rhyme for sure works here!
You have used the form very well to convey powerful thoughts.
Oh this is gorgeous. So compelling and powerful.
Short and to the point. I like how you’re able to do that. I seem to have more trouble with it 😉
“Turn the other cheek” is too close for comfort. “Go love yourself” too. I love them 🙂
Thank you for sharing Angela
The dialogue aspect is done masterfully, there are indeed two distinct voices (or should I say, at least two) running throughout. Also, they seem to be responding to prompts themselves, which makes it a fun read on top of all that! Also, as Dawn D just said, those two hit especially hard – “Turn the other cheek” being the hardER one.
