A very pondering sort of poem. I enjoyed reading and didn't see anything about it that needed to be fixed up. And I thought it was really very good.

Comment from fionageorge
Ah, yes, when asked the question? Will I tell the truth? You have posed some very interesting questions here, my friend. Are we honest, or do we hide behind a mask, trying to please others, partners etc. Well written, flows freely, and has excellent rhythm.
Warmest regards,
Marijke

Comment from honeytree
Washing our mouths with soap never happened within our family. I have heard it being used though.
I think talking situations through with children and some adults.It is important as they will learn where they went wrong. A frightened child knowing consequences, can be quite daunting for a child and partners within adults life.

Comment from wholechild
It is so much easier to avoid conflict than to really address issues as they arise and in the process, we get farther away from those that we love. We are no longer true to ourselves or to them. Your poem may encompass more than I am talking about, but that is what stands out for me. It reminds me of one of my poems, "A Difficult Time". I am enjoying your writing.

Comment from Carol D Parker
This is unique. "Are we completely true when living with all their whims?" No we're not. We need to get out of all those whims. Your poem asks many questions. It's very thought provoking and stirred up my ire over things that happnened in the past. That's what a good poem does. It's very creative and clever. Great job.

Comment from Orchidea Blu
Flows well and enjoyable reading. You're bringing back old memories for me. "Soap was the punishment for children, to wash away their lies" I remember when they used to use soap to wash out your mouth for lying or saying a naughty word. I am enjoying your writing! Thank you.

Comment from Zoe Yates
Deep thoughts from Deep Water. There is a verse about love in the bible, I think that is the answer to the poem these questions ask. Love covers a multitude of sins, and love is patient and long suffering, it never boasts and all kinds of other stuff I believe this will answer your poem. I enjoyed reading this. Nice work.

Comment from mermaids
You give the reader food for thought and I like the line "leaving words unspoken". Gives us a point to ponder about getting those words out. I also like the structure of this poem.

Comment from Realist101
It is very difficult to lead a life of pleasing yourself, while trying to please all around you. Almost impossible. And does create strife. I like how you open this to question in this excellent piece. Susan
